I considered both of those options for my Viggen before settling on the 225/45/17 Yokohama AVS Sport tires. The 235/45/17 tire is too tall and will cause some rubbing, especially under hard driving conditions. The 235/40/17 won't fit properly on the stock 7.5" wide Viggen wheels--they require an 8" wide wheel. I'm very pleased with the performance improvements that the 225s offer.
