Mine is a passion, so the front and rear wheels are 15”.The outside diameter of 225/45R17 is 634.3mm
The outside diameter of 175/55R15 is 573.5mm
The outside diameter of 225/45R17 is therefore 10.6% bigger than 175/55R15 which is far too much.
Also, if you look at the following Toyo tires link you will see that 6.5J is too narrow for 225/45R17 tires.

same question: how about 225/35/17? Can it fit in the rear? The store is out of the one with 215 wide 😢The US spec Brabus came with 215/35-17 tires on the rear from the factory. The stock rear wheels were 7.5x17. The 175/55-15 tires you asked about were the stock Brabus size on a 5.5x15 wheel on the front. I have the 17" wheels on all four corners of my Brabus with no isues at all.
That is the stock rear tire size for the Euro Brabus. It is mounted on the same 7.5x17 wheel as the US spec Brabus. The 215/35-17 tire is getting very hard to find any more. I will have to go to the 225 size when I replace mine.Ho
