anyone running a 245-45-17 on 9 inch rim?

[old_blue]

pretty much the only way I am going to be able to run my fr500s anytime soon is to use my old rear tires from my bullitts. the rear rims are fr500 18x10s and fronts are 17x9. so I was going to just put the old rears on the front rims and buy new rear tires. probably 285-35-18 is the widest due to price

Youll have a slight gap nothing crazy, I run a 245 up front on my 04 Cobra Rims

slight gap??? i am not understanding the gap, where would the gap be?

it will just look a little bit stretched, should be no gap

In this pic, I have 245/45/17's on my 17x9 cobra r's. This was just after I bought it, since then I replaced the back tires with 275's.

thanks, I was looking for someone with a photo. Doesnt look bad at all. I just bought my back tires not too long ago so it would be a shame not to use them. I think I may be keeping my fr500s now. I just didnt know the rear for a 18X10 were so damn expensive.

OEM or AM wheel? An OEM wheel is 8".

I'm not criticizing the car, but those tires are way too small on the front, and the back is even worse.

the limited edition wheels are 17x9 oem. I have 245/45's on front and put 275/40 on rear. I think they look really good for 17" rims.I would not want to go wider in front.
