245/45/17 On A 17x9 Will It Work??

WILL A 17x9 FIT TO A 245/45/17" TIRE?

WILL IT LOOK FUNKY ?? RIDE BAD??

 

[grendel]

it will fit but it might look a little stretched

It'll fit the wheel just fine, it won't look stretched what looks stretched is a 245/40/17 I know from experience, when you look at the rim and tire, the tire won't bulge past the rim. It'll be straight up and down. I like the 275/40/17 better though imo.

i had some 245/40's on 18's eww rode like poo and looked stretched

 

[SaleenFiend]

well im getting them for free to put up front so i might as well

They will fit and look fine, the 45 in profile will not make it look stretched.

That is a recommended size for your car. They will work just fine. That is the narrowest suggested for a 17x9

What about 285/40s on a 17x9 on the rear? I'm running 245/45/17s all around right now but I've seen a few guys post that they are running 285/40s...of course that could be on a 17x10 instead of 9, but will it work on a 9?

 

[grendel]

it will work on a 9 but would fit better on a 10

275/40 is the best size for a 9" rim...on a 10" I'd try to fit a 295 or 315.

I ran 315/35 Nitto drag radials on 17x9" rim, but they are smaller than a regular 315.
