Default Can you fit 235-45-17 tires on an A4 1.8Tq lowered 1.5"?

Reason I ask is I just picked up a set of 17x8" Emotions with 225-45-17 040's mounted on them. Is it just the design of the 040's or is this size a little small for the 8" wide wheel?

The shoulder of the tire isn't particularly square, looks like the tire is a little streched on the wheel. Doesn't do a very good job of protecting the rim bead either...
