Kalli,
I believe they are 245/45/17's. When I was looking at these rims I didn't know which size to go with either but I think the 17 look awesome. They go perfectly on my car because they are the vintage look I want yet they are modern in looking bigger. I also heard that the 17 inch rims give you better handling? The aluminum looks a lot better than the painted rims I had on the car. Once the suspension settles in with some weight it will look even better. I'll get some better pics and post them up for you so you can drool on your keyboard looking at them on your car!

hehheeee :-) thanks
it will give you better handling on two points (at least in my opinion)
- less unsprung weight (more aluminum and less tyre)
- smaller sidewalls, so they wont "bend?" as much in corners

Here:I hope these work! They are big, but I don't know how to make them smaller.
