Default Will a stock 2013 gt 5.0 tire fit on 9.5 inch rim??

Just ordered a set of rims they are 9.5 and was wondering if my stock tires will fit on these rims, stock size is 245-45-19 with a 8.5 inch rim, i know they will fit on 255s but just gotta make sure they will work with a 245, i think they should, gonna blow if they dont!!!

my stock size exactly are 245-45-19 zr, tire rack said they should be mounted on a 7-9 inch rim instead of 9.5, which sucks, guess ill have to wait to get some money to buy new tires now, geeze

I've had 245's on 9.5" rims before. No issues. They weren't my first choice but I needed the narrowest tire for a 9.5" rim at the time for a project car.

They're gonna look really stretched. A 255 on a 9.5" wheel is pushing it aesthetically.

Check out iceguyb14's thread. He's got the brembo pack tires 255/40-19 on a 9.5" wheel.

j3st3r's thread. 275/40-19 on the same wheels. This is the size you want imo. It's certainly what I want.

A 245/45 on 9.5" wheels is a stretch, but only a small one.

It might be best to put together a set of 255/40 summer tires on the 9.5" wheels for 2 - 3 season driving and leave the original tires on the OE wheels for winter use.
