Default Im going to venture yes, but is 245 tires too wide for the lude?

theres a local set of rims for sale i really like.. the guy has the set of 4 for sale, 2 of which have bad tires.. but, he's got 2 extra tires.. they're 245 size though.. the other 2 are 205 (which we all know fit)... but im thinking mayyyyybe the 245's would ride on the back..

Whats everyones input?

245 would probably not work well on a 17 due to OD dimensions. I run 225/45/15 Hoosiers on my track car, and they have a section width very, very close to 10". They're actually wider than a 245/45/16 Toyo mounted on a 16x7 rim. The front fits fine. The rear rubs on the rear fender lip quite a bit, but I run such stiff spring rates in the rear that it isn't a problem. The small OD of the 225/45/15s also helps.

People have successfully installed 235/40/17s on 17x8 rims without too much rubbing.

Well this is for a 4th gen, with a ground control coilover kit.. so i can stagger the look all i need to make room for them, but i still dont want a 4x4 look. lol.

This is a tough decision

hmm the JUN prelude has 235/45/17s on it.. but ive never heard of 245s.. that pretty intense! keep that for the track, where spring rates are very high like 117 uses.
