semi slicks will sit wider than standard
offset is what matters, so unless u know what, we cant tell
that tyre size will fit as I run 235x45 on 17x8s

i run 235/40 but not semi slicks. the semi's might have a bit more tyre sidewall roll and rub when you corner if u fit them that wide.

Tbh I don't know if you want semi slicks for everyday driving.
If you're going for fatter tyres go 17" not 18s.

I seem to recall Aza squeezing in a 245 on a 17 inch rim...
But as KJ mentioned, unless you can tell us the offset of the rim, we cant tell you much.

I have the 235/ 45/ 17s allso you have to look at the brand of them to as some are wider than others
but yep you will have no probs at all providing the offset as said above, so you may have a prob
