Alrite I brought my car to the shop today for some new tires. I originally placed an order for some 225/45/17 toyo proxes but the guys made the wrong order and got 245/45/17 instead. They asked me if I wanted those instead and I told them to put what tire on first to see how it looks. When they slapped it on, I noticed that it sticked out of the fender just a little bit but there was only about 2-2.5 gap between the tire and fender so I decided to go for it. I was planning to lower my car but I think its good idea if I just leave it the way it is. Any of you guys have this tire size?

The most important thing is overall diameter.

my car is the same way.....my tires are sticking out of the boby about .5".....the only bad thing is that now i can't have more then 2 people sitting in the back seat or my car body keeps hitting the tires every time i make a turn or go over a bump or anything.....i am still thinking about lowering it...but then i am going to have the car shop slant my tires in an angle a little bit so i can drop my car and it won't turn the tires or anything like that.....

and by the way my rim size is 18" so that's one of the bad thing....so any of you guys know anything i can do let me know

with 245's they will probably rub when u lower it

mine rubbed with 225/45/17 and 42 offset... i needed to jack it up to a 48 offset

wise to change the tire and go with 215/50/17.. the correct tire size

yea....i just changed the tires to 225/45/17 theres less rubbing now but it still rubs when I make a turn with a bump. phat- can you tell me more about slanting the tires? will that tuck my tires inside the fender? how much would that cost? thanks!
