235's will be a bit of a stretch. 245's will fit great!

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

And stretching is dangerous to de-beading and unseating the bead from the rim. (It means an instant evacuation of air -- thats the technical term for it).

Looking at Hankook's Evo v12's 234/45/17 , the upper limit of wheel width is 9". So while it is a bit of a stretch, it's still safe according to this manufacturer. Check what tire you want to go with and see the max wheel width allowed.
