245 on a 10.5?

[mcmmotorsports]

Would a 245/45/17 fit on a 17x10.5 rim?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS??, you may be asking

Simple, I only have 4,800 miles on my tires and don't need new ones yet and figured I could save some $$$ on tires for now if they would fit.

Sounds like a really damn bad idea to me. I'd be surprised if the things would even stay on the rim.

#1 it would look stupid as hell
#2 no rim protection whatsoever
#3 i doubt it would fit

I honestly don't think they will even physically mount to the rim. Sell your tires and save for the correct sizes. It will look alot better and be safer to boot.

Well you could drive on the old rims & tires till they wear out, then replace them with your 10.5's and new tires or just bite the bullet and buy new tires and use those new wheels you bought??

I would not do it. I have 275/40 on my 10.5 bullitts and it is in my opinion too small. My next tire will be 315/35. I would just wait or just sell your old tires.

Okay, thanks everyone for their input.

Actually they will fit. That is how drift racers set up their rims. So you can do some really cool driving with that. Post some cool videos when you're done.
