I have been very pleased with how my 245-40/17's worked on my 17x8 rims. No rubbing, reasonable wear pattern and great road holding. Also, the speedo is pretty accurate as teh diameter is almost the same as the stock 225-50/16's.

Dan,
They're 9 or 9.5" wide and of the correct bolt pattern. I haven't gotten around to mounting them on Racer X. Maybe this weekend. I'll take pics. I've got two other sets of 17" rims that will also work, so I think we'll be fine in the rim department
