I put 245-45-17 on 17x9.5 zr-1 rim. Is 245 to narrow for the 9.5 inch rim.
Not to happy with how it looks compared to how the 275-40-17 fit the rims in the rear.
The tire lip looks like its holding on for dear life.
Should I put out the cash and change them? :cry:

Change them to 275's. THe 245's are to narrow and if you ever rub anything your rim will take a beating. The 275 puts the rim lip inside/even with the tire and guards from damage plus it looks better.

You may want to try selling them on a mustang forum, since that is a popular size for their stock 17's.
