I was gonna go with 215/50-17. and i was looking at SP Sport 9000, Expedia S-01, or Firehawk SZ50. Anyone know the quality of any of these tires or could point me in the right direction cause this is the first time im buying tires for a wheel this big.
 
I previously had 17x8 inch wheels, and the 225/45/17 fit perfectly.

Personally, I think that the 235/45/17 may throw off your speedo alittle bit too much. But that is just my opinion.

Later.

In fact, 235/45r17 is 0,5% smaller that the 97+ GSX stock wheels (215/50r17):
 
so wheny our speedo says 60 your actually doing 59.7 mph, highly doubt anyone will notice the difference.
