Want to Run 245/17/50 all around

I have a 05 Sedan non-sport with the stock 17" wheels. I want to put on 245's all around but I am concerned with possible rubbing in the front. Has anyone done this? If I need a spacer to move them out a bit does anyone know how much.

Thanks

245 are too wide for 7 inch stock rim. As far as rubbing goes, no u won't rub but it won't be safe at the same time. Go with 235s all around.

I know you can put a 245/50 on a 17" wheel, you can put a 255/50 on a 17" if you want to. I just wondered if it would rub on the inside arms since it's 5mm wider on each side than a 235. I'm not quite sure how it would be dangerous.

Ur rim width is not 17 inches, its 7.0 inches. 17 is ur rim size. On a 7.0 rim the maximur recommended size should be 235.........
