I have an 02 wrx with sti v8 takeoffs and v7 rims, i think they are 17x7 or 17x7.5 not too sure. Anyways i just pick up some 245/45/17 SO3 pole position today and was wondering if i would have rubbing issues.

Here is a picture of my car currently with 245/40/17 kumho, hope it helps

y would you put 245's on a 7 inch rim?

 

WOW..245s on a 7in wheel.........U TOO CRAZY....

 

i want to know if you can fit 245/45/17 on 17" rims without having rubbing isues

 

Depends on the tire. S03's do run a bit wide.

 

Those look like the UK 17's. I believe they are 17x7.5. I've read some threads on nabisco about people running 255/40/17 on their BBS STi wheels with no problems.

those are 2005 BBS wheels (17X8) and even though they fit its less than ideal, I ran 255/40s on 17X8 torques, finally got some 17X8.5 SSRs to run them on and the difference in steering response and feedback is noticeable.

Lin, I hope you realize those 245/45/17s are a FULL INCH larger diameter than a 245/40/17 (24.7" vs. 25.7") they might not rub if your cars not lowered too much but why would you want to run such a big tire? Its going to kill your gearing too.

 

damn it, i pick them up yesterday because they were cheap. now i have to try to get rid of them

 

you can always sell them to evo guys they run 245/45/17s ..

 

245/45 should be okay on a 7.5.... in fact that's what I'm planning to do for my next set. 245/45/17 azenis 615's on my 2004 BBS rims.
