Reading one post here Stretch said that 225/45 fit right on 7" width.
That's should be ok but.....one question:

Which is the best width for 225/45 on 17" wheels, 7.0" or 7,5" width??

I suppose 7.0" is the minimum for 225/45...

Wider is better. An 8" rim would be even better yet.

I read somewhere while I was skimming threw google that 225's recommend 7.5 wide. I also had the same question as to which was better. Liteswap at Mazdatech recommened 7's so as to no rub so much, I see alot of 7.5's any more advice?
