Will a P235/55R17 size tire fit a base 3G TL okay or do you think that side wall height would be too high?

It would boil down to what one might like or dislike when the tire is 1.5" taller than the OE tire and the speedometer would only read 56 at 60 and the gap would grow larger as the speed increases.

Guees I've got to ask why?

No particular reason, just curious.
