pros...
1. a smoother ride (less shock from bumps and potholes, more absorbed by the tire) (not by much)
2. more ground clearance. (wont have to worry about the dips in the road as much. wont plow the snow (as much) with my front bumper in the winter).(not by much)
3. technically a higher top speed. (not by much)
4. technically less wheel spin on take off and shifting to second or third. (not by much)
cons...
1. decreased handling and areo dynamics (not by much)
2. slower acceleration / 0-60 time (not by much)
3. offroadish look if u wanna count that (i dont)
looks like the pros outweigh the cons in my situation.
17x8.25 +30 235/50/17 will this fill all around with out rubbing?

Thats quiet alot, I'd --guess-- that this will rub, but not 100% sure about this. However your speedo will be -6% off, not sure if that is still legal in your country.
I'd rather go for 235/45/17.
