hi saito

the most common size for 17s is 225x45 17 but you could check the classifieds for info :thumbup:
hi 225/45-17 is the normal 17" size but a 235/45-17 will measure 9 mm more in total tyre height.ie 195/65-15 measures 635 mm and your 235/45-17 will measure 644 mm tall .hope that helps :)
You should not have problems with it, there are gus on Forum with that width and no rubbing probs. Downside is that your speedo will lie
