Yes they will fit. I have 17x8 stock rims on my car and I'm running 245/45 up front and 275/40 out back. They were bought from a Firestone sotre I used to work at. They're Bridgestone Potenza RE750 and are pretty decent tires.

ORIGINAL: GT_04

245/45`s in the front and put 275/40`s out back.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3`s FTW.
As stated above, but go with the 255's on the front and 275's on back. It looks TOUGH!

And treadlife on those tires are good. Just got mine a few months ago and they still have plenty of rubber left. Should last a few years.

wouldn't the 255's make you loose handling over the 245's?
