They'll fit, but they'll look goofy as hell.

it's not safe to run those tires on those rims for long, look for 265 or wider

That is not entirely true. My tires are front: 245/45 R17 and rear 275/40 R17 and I have no issues with them 20k miles or so at 100mph+ speeds in the curves.

Just don't buy some buster A$$ tires. There are things you can go cheap on...... tires is not really one that I personally would be cheap with.

AAAAAND sorry but I don't think my tires and rims look "goofy" or like "Stretched Rice" at all LOL
