I would not say that the stock tire on a 7" wide wheel (stock) is stretched.
I have 7.5" wheels and with the primacy and there is a very slight stretch.
IMHO, If you are looking for performance a slight stretch will help more than a tire that is a little too large for the wheel.
You could also just get 225/45/17 MPSS if you're still concerned about it I know many went with those and are happy. I'll probably go with 225/45/17 MPSS too when I'll need new tires. Should fit pretty much perfectly with my 7.5" wheels.
