Default 17x7.5" rims

Anyone run this size?
I've seen ppl put 205/40/17s on this size rim. Tire leans in a tiny bit. What are your oppinions?
I was thinking about picking up Rota Battles in 17s. But I belive they only come in 17x7.5.
Am I going to run into a lot of problems if I do this?
I'm lowered on GC and I'd like to keep the 0 fender gap.

if you have no gap you will have problems. You will rub. You'll probably have to roll the fenders and you still may have problems unless you raise it

What exactly did you have to do to get it to fit?
