You're going to want an 8" rim for 245's. You can pick up a squared set of RPF1's with mounted and balanced 245/40-17 Direzza Star Spec Z2's for under $1,900 delivered. The upside is that in total you are also adding only 12.8oz of rotating mass total (if you don't put TPMS in them) and you'll get awesome grip.
225's would work on the stock 7's, maybe even 235 but you're starting to push it.
