245/45 17s?

any rubing issues put this big a tire on my max all the way around? or would a 235/50 17? the 225/50 size has some wierd tire choice, i definitly think the stock size should have been diffrent, but anyone have issues with a 245/45 17 sized tire?

i am not positive... however, if you have stock rims... a 245 width might be too wide for the rim, the widest i would go is 235. i have 235/45/17's on my car and they work great

You need at least a 7.5 inch wheel for a 245 width.

There're discussions on this under the Stickys... go to FAQs then scroll down to Rims and Tires...

Here is one of the links, but I'd suggest looking through all the rest of em... good stuff:
