Large, larger, too larger

I picked up a new set of rubber today and now when they are compared
with the 16's I have mounted they look gigantic!!!
Hmmm... will they hit something in the chassi?
Right now the bus has Nokian Hakapeliitta 205/65 16C (load rate 107).
They are really nice winter tires but the summer heat kills them. I
have a set of 17" rims left after a car sale so I thought they will be
nice as summer wheels and got these Dunlop Sport XL 235/55 17 (load
rate 103w). They are actually mounted on VW T5's here from retailers.
A quick comparison is a bit scarying though. Will they fit at all?
Let's see tomorrow! :-)

The image with the five spoke rim is the 17's as today with 225/45.
They actually have a smaller diametre than the 16's. The new Dunlop
tires are compared with these, that's the image with the stacked
tires.
