Need some help picking a 17" inch tire size

i got a set of 17x7.5 rims. and im not sure what tire size to get. i really like the stretched tire drift look. my 85 rx7 is stock height.
thanks and if anyone has pics of their rim and tire combo that would be great.

the thinnest you could fit would probably be 215/40"s. They fit nicely on 7" wheel so would probably be stretched slightly to fit 7.5"

I run 205/4017 front and 215/40/17 rear on 7" wide wheels

Id definately rep the wheels on that white second gen.

Something about gold centers and a big lip...would look so slick on a black first gen!
