235/45 on stock 17s?

Anyone have this? Looking for pics but the search here sucks. Is there any problems running this size on a stock vehicle? I'm looking for a tire that comes out more and protects the rims (female other driver likes curbs).

OE wheels are really too narrow, should be on 7.5 or 8 inch wheels. OE gen 4 TL set up is 235/45x17 on 17x8 wheels and will fit OK as long as you're not dropped too much (the wheels have 10mm less offset). They're the same height as the stock 215/50x17 size, so all the electronic gizmos will work fine.
