17x7.5 should be no problem as long as the offset is similar to the 00-04'*. Jwikoff99 has them on his (Looks pimpin), as does some girl with another 1992 SSEi.

Oh, and for tires 235/55/17 will be the same diameter as the 225/60/16'*. Sounds like you could also go with 255/45/17 (or 40?).

I've got 245/50 ZR-17'*. Same stock diameter. They rub just a bit at full lock.
