    225/45-17 too narrow?

    Perfectly put BobV. Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Also, the profile / sidewall hieght can be taken into account when squeezing wider tires onto rims. I, personally, get nervous when the "black arts" are used to find something as important propper tire fit.
