245/45/17 on the rear of an S13? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I got a great deal on a pair of toyo proxes 4(120.00 for both). These tires were driven on for less than a week(fewer than 100mi) and then the guy decided he didn't want them. I don't have any pics to show just how new they are, but believe me they're in pristine shape. Anyways, I have the 17x9 MB weapons that I want to put on my s13, but I'm concerned about the sidewall height, and whether or not I can make it fit, and look good. Right now my car is lowered approx. 3" on megan c/o, and I have footwerks RUCAs waiting to be installed. Fenders will be rolled, but I'm just wondering can I make them fit w/a slight roll and no pull? I've searched and only found 1pic w/these sizes in the rear that I thought looked ok...

However, I'd like to be a little lower than he is. Should I go ahead w/these tire sizes, or maybe try to trade for some 235/40/17's, which is what I plan on running in the front. Chime in guys.....oh, I'm not into the whole stretched thing, so 235 would be the smallest width I'd go.
Thanks in advance.
Edit.....post #900!!!!!!!

You'll be more than fine with a roll... The 245-45 is just a little tall...

If you want your car lower than that pic, then I would definitely get 235s...

For the rear it'll clear with no problem, at most you'll need to hammer the lip. Try to trade those 245's for something else because I think the 245/45 will look weird with a 235/40 on a 9 up front especially if you plan on lowering it alot.
