Can I put 225 45 17 tires on a 17 x 8 inch width rim or is that tire to narrow?

that's the IDEAL size for that wheel. A wider tire will make the wheel look smaller...
because a wider tire will bulge out a little... giving the appearance of a 16" rim. The sidewall of a 225/45/17 will taper in a little as it goes from wheel lip to tread... thus giving the appearance of a larger rim.
