Will a 245mm wide tire fit on a 9" wide wheel?

Has anyone ever put a 245mm wide tire on a 9" wide wheel? I'm having rubbing issues (just a very slight rub in the front with hard cuts or bumps) with my current 255 mm setup and am considering swapping out to 245mm tires. Will the 245mm fit properly and will it look alright or will they look stretched out?

Thanks!

They'll have a little bit of a stretched look, but will work ok. Most folks running 245 width tires use an 8" or 8.5" wide rim.

size?

hmm, will a 245 tire fit on a 7.5 in. wheel? I hit something on my stock wheels (18") and one of them has a flat spot that is making a weird sound with my new tires. I do have some other wheels also 18" but they are 48 offset and 7.5" .

What is the width of the stock 19" wheels?

If I want to put new custome wheels, should I stick with the same width of the stock 19" and how much further can I go?

Thanks,

Width of the stock 19's is the same as the 18's; 19x8 vs 18x8.

My TSW's are going to be 20x9 with a +40 offset. You can run a 255 or 265 width tire without any clearance issues at all 4 corners.

Thanks,
wider front tires increase turning radius but i have no idea by how much.
depends on offset/width on how wide you can go.

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to ask, what is the offest of the stock 19" wheels? What is the maximum offest I can go with 19x8.5 wheels with 245 tires? And can I fit my stock 19" 245 tires on 19x8.5 wheels?

Does anyone happen to have a decent pic of their 245mm tire on a 9" wide wheel? I'm trying to determine if its going to look stretched at all.

Thanks.
