Question MB E 17 x 8.5 rim. Mich 235/45 work??

Hi,
OEM tire is Michelin 245/45-17.
Will a Mich 235/45 work??
My E will have 18" but getting 17" rims/tires for winter.

Folks say narrower is better for winter tire (MN) but will this work?
Seems like overall total tire diameter would be slightly smaller....
thanks

What about 245/55 -17 instead of 245/45
