I put my 10.5"s with 315's on the other day, plenty of extra clearance but I have heard of a few people having problems with the exhaust being really close.

they'll fit great.. they are on the back of mine right now..

245/45/17s on the front will be exactly the same diameter, however depending on the tire brand, a 245 sometimes looks small on a 9 inch wheel. a 255/45 will only be a hair taller than the 315.35 and will fit the 9inch wheel better..
