they WILL fit, but youll get ALOT of slop from the tires, and it looks like butt.

not all over the road, its just not as firm or responsive as it would be with a skinnier tire. ALOT of bulge with a 245 on a 7". just ugly. why are you putting on such a big tire?? Just have em lying around??

that would look like S**T why not just sell em to a dodge dakota owner so he can burn em out and let you dispose of them when hes done.

Way huge. I would go 215/45 max. I run 205/45 on 7's and they're square.

Then depending on what offset your slapping them tires on, they will rub with the front struts with anything more than a 38mm offset rim.

yea understood. I am running 205/45's and just arnt wide enough. I saw a SE with stock wheels running 235's. 225 is sufficient width for me. Ill just sell them on ebay I assume.

I run 235's on 7.5, but I wouldnt go with 245's on a 7
