I'll be running a 215/45/17 on an 8" +35 rim on my pre-facelift.
From the online tyre comparitor posted earlier today, you can see the difference here between the 235/45 and the 215/45... 215 is basically the same width as the rim, 235 sits rather wide of the rim.
A 225/45 would be fine too, just slightly proud of the rim if you want rim protection for parking near gutters (// parking)
