Positive, I work for a wheel manufacture and a lot of our current wheels only come in those sizes, not staggered. When a customer asks for that set up for a S2000 that is what we run. Or when they want to stagger on a non staggered wheel or car.
On a 7.0 or 7.5 there is a point of no return for the tire width before it starts to crown. Basicly the beads of the tire being wider than the wheel width causing the tread to bow up, which is bad.
When I dont have my 3 peice wheels on my car I run 17x7.0 et 40 all the way around 205/50-17 in front and 225/45-17 in rear.
Now if you want an even more staggered look with a 7.5 - for example most of our wheels come in many different offsets. One of our most popular wheels is offered 18x7.5 et 40 and 18x7.5 et 45. Run the 45et in front and the 40 et in rear.

Let me know if you have any more questions
