I got 7.5 not 7, and can i fix the odometer thing by putting different tires on? Or have the odometer re-calibrated? I dont want to put that many more miles on it?

yeah, difference size tires can correct any speedometer error (or most of it)

Im in the same boat with the 205-40-17s
Being a Po-Boy Modifier myself, I have the econo grade 17x7 primax 10 spoke tuners for now, but sure beats the stock 15" cookie cutters. The deal was to tempting to resist regardless of the set backs it created.
As for the spedo its consistantly off 5mph all way around and God knows how many xtra miles I accumulated on the odometer since the install. Thats the least of the worries, with the low profiles 2 of my side walls are bubbling and it is unsafe because of the wheel-tire weight ratio throwing off my stock suspension. Also, it is causing tremendous chasis vibration at high speeds 55mph+ resulting in poor alignment of wheels and brakes as well as poor handling.
However, granted my brother is Mechanical Engineer and was on SAE Formula Suspension team at WVU, he was able to figure what tire size I need to get back to the stock diameter.
235 or 225-45-17
With those and the install of Eibach Pro Kit Springs and Tockico with courtesy of Delios (Sleeper), I should be out of harms way very shortly.
Play it safe, and listen to Michelin "cause so much is riding on your tires"
