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.

At 24.4", 235/40-17 isn't closer to stock height of 24.7" than 225/45-17 (25.0").
235/40-17 isn't a good a fit on a 7.5" wheel, need 8" minimum up to 9.5".
225/45-17 is a MUCH better size choice for 7.5" wheels.
