help tyre size

ready to change my tyres, the wheels are 17 x 7.5, the tyres fitted as standard are 225/45/17, could i fit 235/45/17 and if so would this give me better grip or would the tyre not sit right

hi the car is an s202, 225s are fitted as standard and 235 will fit and not touch the body of the car but are they suitable for 7.5 " rims
