I am considering some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 in 235/40/17 and was wondering about fitment on a 7.5" rim. The specs on tirerack say a rim width range of 8-9.5". Anyone put oversize tires (width wise) on rims? What was your experience?

Do it. I love the idea of using wider tires such as that, its good protection for the rim and its wider meat which can't be bad at all.
I would also back up the previous two opinions.....I've seen some rediculously wide tire setups in person, and I think as long as they hold the bead it should be fine, which the 235's should do. I figure, 225's are done on 7" wide wheels often, and so a 235 on a 7.5" wide wheel should yield about the same results. Good luck.
