is 225/45/17 too small? I don't think it's stock

Rethinking it if you are going from 215/55/16 to 235/45-17 the difference is .1%
225/45/17 would be 1.3%
both acceptable but on 8" rim would be better to go 235 I guess

I'm looking at some used rims and tires are already mounted
So I would probably put 235s on when I next have to change rubber, but for the time being, I would live with what is on it. (Rubber is fairly new.)

That was actually the stock size for the 2000 2.7T with a 17" wheel...
I think they changed to 235 45 17 in 2002 ( or 2001 middle of model year). You'd be fine with running that size, but when they need replacing, might as well go with 235 45 17. You'll get a hair more protection from the curb.
