Tirerack.com says that you can find the tire size in inches if you take 225mm/25.4=8.86"
So 245mm/25.4=9.65"
But I find it to be a bit off because I got 235 for my 17x8 and they were absolutely flush with my rim.
I still wouldn't recommend fitting 245/45/17 on 17x7 though.

235 is as wide as you should go.

Those blow nuts in the snow. I would keep that in mind if you do a lot of snow driving.
