will these tires fit?

have some 245/45/17 that I'm trying to use on 17x9 rims. Will these fit alright, especially since the rears are nittos and i heard they run narrow

thanks

well, i run bfg kdws 245/45/17 in the front on my 17x9. if you're going to run nitto's in the rear just go with the 275/40/17. a lot of 03/04 guys run a 315/35/17 on their stock 17x9 wheels, so definitely go a little wider with nittos.

ya i need to replace the rear tires and i have a friend who has a pair of pretty much new nitto dr that are 245 45

245's are two small for the rears.

The tires will be narrow but will fit. I prefer a 275 or larger on a 17x9

new question, anyone know somebody running rims that are 17x7. I found a set that i really like but they don't come any wider, what differences will i have, any negatives to running a thinner rim?

tire width will be limited, will look wayy to skinny on a Cobra (or any mustang)

Well if you do end up getting those 17X7's, I have a set of truly excellent condition Dunlop SP Sport 9000's in 245 width that I'd sell for cheap. PM me if interested.

damn dood those are some straight wagon wheels right there .. i wouldnt go for anything smaller then a 9 in the rear if you are going to buy AM wheels...
