Not sure I understand your question.
Your stock tires will fit on these wheels, with a bit of stretch.
If you are buying wheels and they already have 235/45R17, (I think is what you're asking) they will fit although they are taller, and it will alter your gearing by 2.8% (you will be travelling 2.8% faster than your indicated speed). But it will affect your acceleration more because of the gearing, which is not a good thing (unless you don't care about it). But they will fit and not rub.

Better tire size would be 245/40R17 which is almost exactly same as stock.
