I am, they came stock on my car. I assume you have a fox tho... you should be okay I'd think.

yeah i got a fox also got a 9 inch rim up front and the 245 to me looks a lil stupid cause its kinda stretched so i think 255 would look more flush but worried about rubbing

I have 255/40/17 all around. Front is 8" wide rim and the tire fits perfect, the rear is 9" wide and the tire looks a little narrow.

the 255/45/17 will be the proper size.

Do you want to be able to rotate the tires? I'm not sure what the fox body tollerances are but if not you could do 265/40 on the front and 275/40 on the rear.
