Will 245/45 tire fit 17x7 wheel

Just wondering if 245 will fit on 17x7, or is it too wide?

You need an 8.5 wide wheel.

Huge debates on this. 7" rim I believe can accept a 235-50 but not a 235-45. Something to do with the aspect ratio and safety.

And a 245 does NOT require a 8.5" rim. As Mustangs have 17x8 and come from the factory with 245-45-17s on their older GTs.

That's true, I had 18x8 with 245/35. So what tire size should I get for my AE wheels, please help me deside.
