I have a chance to buy either 17x7 or 17x7.5 wheels for my Max (my choice); I have a set of 245/45/17 tires available to use. Will they fit on the wheels with no rubbing or other issues, or do I need to buy different size tires?

 

well since noone else is going to respond i will give it a go. I must assume that your wheels will have an offset between 30-45. If so you should not rub. However, 245 tires are wuite wide for such narrow wheels. They will fit on but the sidewals might look bulged a bit. Better on the 7.5s than on the 7 inch rim. 245s would probably be better suited to an 8 inch or 8.5" rim. As far as diameter of tire it is very close to stock so you should get no rubbing on the fenders or when turning provided that your offset is correct. Hope that helps a bit
