I have a 03 passat wagon with a set of audi a4 17in sport rims on. Needing new tires and was going to put on 225/45 instead of the 235/45 that is already on them, which were also used from the original owner who had them on his a4. All fitment charts call for a 225 for my car with 17in rims. Will these rims have issues with mounting 225 instead of 235?

No problem putting 225s on. You mat want to look at the offset on the wheels (it will be preceded by "ET" somewhere on the back of the wheels). Our cars usually can accept an offset of between 35 and 45. The higher the number the closer the wheel will be to the inner suspension. I think the Sport wheels will be OK.

A4 Sports are 45 or 47et which is just barely ok. It'd be better with 8-12mm spacers though.

Also, We have a wheel and tire forum that these should go in, FYI.

Yes, it'll fit just fine. Offset 45 is 47 mm. Stock is 35
