How about this tire size: 235/45R17...

I have seen the posts/threads on tire/wheel size, but never saw this size pop up.
Reason I ask is because I recently bought a set of Mille Miglia EVO 5 rims in size 17x8, along with a set of Sumitomo HTRZ II in 235/45WR17.
I have adapters that allow my hubs to convert from 4-lug to 5-lug (being able to use rims that fit on NG900/9-3/9-5). They do make the wheel assembly stick out from the hub 3/8", though not noticeable when looking at the car.
I have not installed anything yet, and was wondering if this combination would cause any rubbing or clearance problems. I also have oem Saab mud-flaps, if that matters.
Also, will the larger size slow the car down? What about any extra work required by the auto tranny? I know the speedo will probably be affected. Currently, I have the stock 16" Aero rims with 205/55R16 tires on them.
TIA
