is your car lower ? I bought me a set of 225/55/17 for the IS300 rims. Not lowering it and just tried to cover the fender gap.

I don't think there would be a speedo difference since you're sidewall isn't wider than OEM...

If you want your speedo to be correct do not do it. Do the 235. I did this size and it threw it off by 2-3 mph. Not a big deal, but it did and also in the front...it's really close to the upper control arm now. It doesn't rub but I wouldn't go wider than a 245 in the front.

I have a 400 but bought these 430 wheels. Wish I would have done the 235 though.
