another quick tire size question

sorry guys but i'm n00b at tire specs and whatnot. Would 17/50/245 fit on rims that have 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 50 offset fit on a tl without problems?

What is the width of your rims??

A 245 tire has a rim range of 8-9.5"

I'm pretty sure 245 will fit on 7.5" rims

Any reputable tire shop will not mount tires on out of spec wheels. Following the tire manufacturers recommendations on wheel width is the smart thing to do.
