With 245/45/17 what sort of modifications would one need to do? 245's seem awfully big, what sort of offset are on your rims? I'm guessing you'd need to replace the rear struts/springs and stiffen the suspention, especially if the rear is sagging, which tends to happen quite often.
I have 225/45/17's on my 94, and the gap doesn't look bad. If you want to go larger, make sure you stiffen the suspention, because bumps and rough roads will cause you to run into clearance issues when the springs compress. You could lower the suspention iwth coilovers, but just stiffen it up. This will decrease the ride quality at a bonus of appearance. Personally i love how mine rides, but with the 215's on the front of my teal, they're to narrow and i brake traction when pulling out suddenly from a stop sign, so 245's would be nice if i could find rims iwth the right offset.
