I assume you mean the more common 235/45, so given that make sure the tire you choose has a good firm two ply sidewall construction to keep sidewall deflection down or you will be giving up some of the stock sharp turn in feeling.

235 is tough because there isn't really a correct sizing. If you do 235/40/17 then it is shorter than OEM diameter and 235/45/17 is taller. Personally either 225/45/17 or 245/40/17 is a better choice and I believe there is more tire choices due to either 235 size being an oddball size. For the rear 255/40/17 is the correct size.

Let me further clarify for you since you don't seem to be tracking with my reference. 235/45 or the shorter less common option of the 235/40 as two different options for front tires in 235 widths.. If you like the brand the 235/40 comes in then I would opt for this over the taller 45 series. If not, then I would move to the 245 front. Better to have a shorter sidewall tire up front if the pair is to be mismatched and not consistent with rear. But I would avoid the 235 all together and prefer to do 245/255.
