No I do want squishy sidewalls, but I think you mean like they aren't square with the rim. If I get a 17in I'd go down in sidewall size to keep overall diameter of the tire the same to keep the speedo accurate.
225/50's are not that squishy, depending on what the sidewall is made with. DZ101's have a double steel belt and are fairly rigid, same with Khumo Ecstas. Falken azenies on the other hand (that people use to stretch) don't have as reinforced a sidewall and are therefor more plyable. A 225/50 will still absorb a speed bump better than a 225 35 or 40 on a 17in though.
I hope I'm being clear. I want a "square" sidewall to the wheel. If I went with a 7in wheel I'd use a 205 or 215. With an 8in wheel I'd use a 225.
Yeah I'd like to go with an 8in wheel and put 225/50's on it, but you're suggestions don't work since I'm still 4 lug.
So I guess the rota grids would be decent for you're suggestion? Only pics I've seen are these:

I love the look of the second car, but I'm sure he has a slight pull in his rear panels. The first link the car looks kinda gay with his height and the stretch makes the whole tire/rim combo look small.
