Stock 16's are slightly taller

The stock 215/55-16 tires are slightly taller than stock 225/45-17, which means your speedo reads slightly high with the 17's, as you noticed. But it is a miniscule difference - about 1-2% in diameter, or about one mph at 60.
The normal speedo/odometer error is greater than that as Aero Lady noted, but unfortunately they all err in the same direction - if you want to correct for it mount 235/45-17's - problem solved.
