no rubbing issues at all and they fill up the wheel well nicely

actually 255/45x17 should fit in the front as well.

Yes, 255s will fit on the front for width. A 255/45R17 is a 26 inch tall tire and this could get a little tight.

RFCOLEMAN: a 245/45R17 on a 17x8 with 4.625 bs will fit in the rear, but I agree with marauder. Bigger rears will look better.

That is where mine rubbed with the 17x7 with 3.75 bs front.
Measure the back spacing on your wheels to make sure they are the same and check that you have the same front rotors left to right.

Mine with 245/45R17 front and rear on 17x7 and 17x8



I realize my car is not the norm here: I changed to 255/35R18 on 18x9 on the front and 305/35R18 on 18x11 on the rears. Toyo R888 rubber.

Old and new rears:

Mine could use a little lowering and in hindsight would of put 18x10x5.5s on the rear....

I'm generally a traditionalist when it comes to wheels and tires..no bigger than 15s.. but man...that car looks good with those 16s.
Ok, so 16s are ok with me now. lol
