Those are about 1" shorter than the 235/55s I'm running now. I think they would open too much space between the topof the tire and the fenders. (Even with the eibach prokits I have).
275/50/17s are about 1/2" taller and may rub; something I'll have to check out.
With the huge number of available tire sizes it's hard to believe you can't find the 265/50 17s out there. I've seen several references on the forum to using this size.
