Will 245/45/17's fit OK on SS stock rims

Just wondering since I need new fronts and there free, but only if they don't make the rim stick out farther than the tire. Are these too narrow? Stock there 275's and my back will remain 275/40/17.

Most tire manufacturers recommend a wheel width of 7.5" - 9.0" for a 245/45-17, so you will be OK. It might look a little "stretched" on that wide a wheel, but perfromance will not be degraded.

This belongs on "Wheels and Tires", not LT1/LT4 Engine Tech..... I'll move it for you.
