Cani fit 225 50 17 on to rims which have 235 45 17 cheers
-
yes you can but you will have a slightly smaller tyre wall. and a 10 mm narrower tyre but they will fit

Cheers, may go 235 with bigger side wall or dump the 17 rims and put 16s on, I don't really like low profiles
-
The 50 series tyre will have a taller sidewall, not smaller.

there is very little in the difference i have 225 on 17s and its very comfortable
-
Remember the profile is a percentage of the width. :y
Personally, I don't think it's worth it when you consider that you'd have to declare that as a modification to your insurance company. If changing the spec. all, use something that was an original fitment, such as the 16" Omega rims with standard tyres.

Different (same size) tires have different height. I measured about 10mm difference between pavement and lower point of a rim.

I've just taken the 17's off my 3.2 and put on 16's for the same reason :y

Level ground, same pressures, same load rating?? Same degree of wear? 8)

But you'd still be fitting 'low profiles' to the 16" rims ::) ::) A 16" rim takes a 225/55 which is still 'low profile' just not quite as much as the 45 of the 17" I fitted facelift 17" rims to my MFL Elite instead of the 16", you can tell a difference, but the difference isn't huge.

I loved the 16" wheels fitted to the MFL Elite.
HATE HATE HATE the stupidly low profile 17" 235/45/17 fitted to the FL.
In fact, I'd even consider swapping a reasonably decent set of F/L Slabsided Alloys for a good set of MFL Elite Alloys with decent tyres! ::)

The car's sitting on just 1/2" less of rubber. I could feel a difference when I putt he 17" rims on,, but not massively so.
I weighed my MFL Elite rims in, nobody seems interested in them

Level ground, same pressure, don't know load rating and wear. Different new tires have different tread height.
