I went with Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3's in a 235/50/17 size - fit great, no sidewall "bulge", and speedo fairly accurate (49 MPH indicated vs. 50 MPH Radar).
Any other size on stock rim will cause a greater variance in speedo (and false actual MPG figure, since that's an inaccurate read as well).
Negligible (1 mpg or less avg ?) effect from increased rolling resistance (width), more than overcome by euphoria of great handling with these tires!
My $0.02
