Do not put a 235 on a 9" wide wheel. I did it once and learned the hard way. The wheels were alittle wider than the tires, so on one particularly cold morning the tire pressure got real low and I didn't notice it untill I turned and the tire separated from the wheel. I would not use any smaller than a 245 on a 9" wheel.
245/40 is too short.
The proper size for a 17x9 is a 275/40/17. You can run a 245/45/17 but the tire will be stretched out slightly to fit the rim.

:Word: I have 255's and would no go any smaller ever! Unless you like the vato ghetto look and curb rash.Slo 5.0 said:
It won't, not on an '88.
Stick with 245/45/17's up front. A 235 is just too narrow to fit properly. You could go with a 245/40 but it might round the tire over by not having enough sidewall and look like ass.
Out back you might be able to squeeze a 275/40/17 depending on what brake setup you have.

I'm running on 245/45/17 all around. The front ones will rub slightly at full lock and I had to flip the quads in the rear.

Ive got 245/45/17 's on my 8.5" wheels and the tires seem like they are still to narrow for that wheel.

I have 255/45/17s on my 17x9s and they fit good, but I would go no smaller than a 245 on a 9" wheel. BTW I have 255s on the front and they only rub alittle on full lock to lock turns.
