I have noticed that 235-50-17 tires are way cheaper than our stock 225-55-17 tires. They are .4 inches shorter and .5 inches wider. Would you foresee any issues with using these?
 
I would have no issues with running that setup. It's a minor difference in size that would not affect the AWD system (if you had it). You'll lose 6mm of ground clearance, and your speedo will read 61 mph when you're actually going 60. TPMS sensors will still fit. You might notice a slight difference in ride quality and handling due to the different sidewall/width.
