I don't know how you're rubbing at all with 235/45R17 tires on a 17x8 +48 wheels. I'm about to have 235/45R17 2011 WRX tires mounted on the STI BBS wheels and I know I won't rub at full lock-to-lock. If I'm wrong, however, I'll let you know.
That all being said, 225/45R17 is basically stock tire dimensions, so unless your stock wheels and tires rubbed, you'll be fine. I had 225/45R17 all-seasons for a bit on my stock wheels, but I had them mounted on the rear wheels.

Well, we're talking about WRX wheels which are +53 offset like your STi BBS rims but without spacers. Also it's worth noting that ultra high performance summer tires usually have wider tread vs. an all season. Mine are close but with OEM suspension I have had no issues.
