I think lots of people run this on the rears.
Seen plenty of AD08R’s running 235/40/17

According to the net on a 7.5†rim, minimum size 205 recommended is 215 or 225. Max is 235

7.5J is a TD rear i believe, so plenty use 235 on those.
In Europe with DTC's popular, rears are 9j.

I got a pair of TD 9s for the rear for my dry set and squeezed a 255 at the back on standard arches.

A 235 section tyre is the recommended limit on a 7.5J wheel, but I've heard of some having difficulty actually fitting a 235/40/17 on a 7.5J wheel, which I think is dependant on tyre type - R-rated and semi-slicks being problematic, presumably due to much stiffer side wall construction.

I have 235/40 17 contisport 5 fitted to my Td 7.5†with no issues fitting and the wheel look like they could take a wider tyre.
