Question 245/45 r16 tires on stock rims

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had gone that wide? I really dont want/need tires this wide but I can get a GREAT deal on them new.

Basically just want to know if the rim is wide enough and if I will have any clearance issues?

225/50R16
245/45R16

Section Width: 8.85 in 225 mm
Section Width: 9.64 in 245 mm

Rim Diameter: 16 in 406.4 mm
Rim Diameter: 16 in 406.4 mm

Rim Width Range: 6 - 8.5 in
Rim Width Range: 7.5 - 9 in

Overall Diameter: 24.85 in 631.19 mm
Overall Diameter: 24.68 in 626.87 mm

Revs per Mile: 837.0

The numbers look close but I havent brought the car home yet (or ever owned an svx before) and the car needs tires.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
