The 215/45R17 is the same tire on the standard 7" wheel.
A 225/45R17 is ideal width for 7.5" but will be taller than stock which is likely why subaru kept the same tire.

235/40R17 is the widest tire you can fit and closest to stock height. It is expensive less popular size.


TDLR they probably did it because it was cheaper and easier to slap the same tire on the PP wheel. 215 is within spec for 7.5".
