Question 235 45 17 on stock wheels on b5 s4?

Hello,

I have stock wheels (love the look) and wanted to see if i can run the 235 45 17 on my stock 17 s4 wheels? Stock suspension and brakes. Can get a killer deal on some goodyear Eagle F1's at that size. I know they are wider than the 225 stock and the speed-o will be a touch off. I wanted to see if these will clear.

also if later i did new suspension (coilover lowered) would they still fit?

Thanks!

225/45-17 Stock size
Sidewall: 3.99 in
Radius: 12.49 in
Diameter: 24.97 in
Circumf: 78.45 in
Revs/mile: 807.61

235/45-17
Sidewall: 4.16 in
Radius: 12.66 in
Diameter: 25.33 in
Circumf: 79.57 in
Revs/mile: 796.32

Speedometer reading with new tire is 1.42% too slow.
When your speedometer is reading 60mph you are actually traveling 60.84mph.
Also front tires might rub when fully turned.
