I currently have four 17x9 FR500 Rims that I need to get new tires for. My front tires are 255/40/17 at the moment, 275/35/17 on the rear. My question is will the 17x9 fit on the front of my car with 245/45/17 tires, I also do have a lowered car. I wasn't sure if anyone has tried this, thanks!

I have 17x9 wheels and have 245/45/17 tires. No where close to having any kind of problems. I think wider tires would look better imo.

Would look better with wider tires up front, or in the rear? I'm probably going to stick with 275 out back or maybe get 295's not too sure yet.

with 9' wheels all around, run 275 40 17 on all four corners

I would but with the QA1 suspension it pushes your tires out a little more and if I had 275 on the front the tires would stick way out and look really dumb IMO. For example kinda like this,

your wheel back spacing will determine how far your wheel sticks out, not your tire.
the first pic is a 245 on a 9' wheel, see how its a little stretched. 2nd pic is a 275, fits a little better. btw i wouldnt go over a 275 on a 9' wheel, your handling will suffer

This is what size tires I'm going to buy this summer.

I've been told this but I beg to differ at least with my car. Nothing on my car has been simple as somebody telling me believable logic/facts. This QA1 Tubular K-Member kicked the tires out from their original stock position and no one believed me until I showed them prior and present pix, but I do appreciate the help. I just don't want to put meatier tires up front either because of the rub factor I already experience with only have 255's right now and they rub like no other. I think I'm going to go with 245's and see how it all works out. Thanks for your input y'all have helped.

I had 275s up front on my 9" rim i didnt care too much for the look even though I had 315s on th back and the 275s rubbed at full turn and i didnt notice how heavy the 275s made my steering/turning feel until i put 245s on that same 9" rim the drive just feels ALOT better no with the 245s up fron instead of the 275s. Had th 275s up fron will never do it again. Just my opinion.

I love my 275/315 set up
