I am looking to buy new rims and I already have a newish set of 245/45/17 tires, so I'm not going to waste money on a tire/rim package. I know that these tires will technically work with 17x7.5 - 17x9 rims. I'm looking to buy these rims: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...llitt-Wheels_3
As far as I know, they don't make these in 17x8, so I was wondering will 17x9s have a significant impact on the look of the wheels or the way the car drives?

What brand and model are the tires you are putting on? Some 245's run wider than others. Tire Rack has good data on most tires that will tell you how wide the tire and how wide the contact patch will be. I have 245's and 255's on a set of 9 inch rims, the 245 are Bridgstone and look too small, the 255 Michelins look perfect, the side wall is straigh up and down. Also the wider you go with the tires the more the car is going to want to wonder.
