what's the wheel width? that's a key factor!

Step down to 45 series tires, unless you're going for the monster truck theme...

wheel width is 8"

i would definately step down to 45 series, the only thing is, these are being sold as a set.

from my calculations, the height of the tire will rise about 10mm upfront and ~15mm in the back... so it's 20mm and 30mm total car raise. sure this will look goofy?

I'm much more concerned about fitting 245s up front.... like will it rub or not?

the car is stock height right now, but i plan on lowering it eventually (rsr or prokits)

i think the rims will clear
but i dunno about the tires

im using 225/50 on my 8 inch width wheels (+30 offset)
and they dont have that much clearance on the fronts, maybe less than half inch
however, they do clear the rears

I dunno about clearance, I can guarantee those tires are at least going to look way stoopid. Way too tall, and way too wide for those wheels. Go 225/50 all around.

how bout these:

245/45/17 on a 17x8 rim +30 offset all 4

Will those get in the way/rub? (car is to be lowered 1.5" soon..)
