Default Question about wheels

So im looking so get a new set of wheels. But i want to use the same tires. So i look at the tire size and i beleave i have 245 in the front and 275 in the back. (on 17'' tires btw). So I think i get fit 17x9 in the back and 17x8 in the front. So first i guess im asking if that is possible with those tires. Then the wheels looks slightly different but are they the same looking in real life for these two wheels?

You need to look up your tires on the manufacturers website and confirm fitment for your potential wheels.

With that said, you should have no problem running the 245's on and 8" and 275's on a 9" wheel. The 275 is really maxing out most 9" wheels, but will fit in most cases. I just looked at both links and l think they are the same, but due to Internet Explorer issues on my work computer here, I cannot open both links simulaneously to compare closely

If you have further questions, I will check on my home computer and will be able to compare more closely.
