Only in the Showa era. Heisei, Millenium and Legendary Goji were all around 100m by their final iterations.

Setting aside none of those are close to 175 meters, I would still answer 50 meters if anyone ever asked me that question. His height 'grew' because people wanted to exploit how popular the franchise was and they adjusted him accordingly because bigger was better. In fact, Godzilla was shrunk back down to 55 meters in millennium (before the final iteration) because the director at the time found it a disgrace to change him to please the masses.

Anyway, it's sorta how when people ask question about a particular franchise e.g. Hunger Games, you answer using facts from the books and not the movies. Not because the 'original' is better or anything but because it's best answering using the original source.
