8" wheels, possibly 8.5". call tirerack and ask them for sure.

I think it would fit, but it would be kinda stretched. 245 is ideal for 8" wheel though.

it will fit just fine but why if you have a 9" rim would you want to not put a 265 or 275 on it ?

because ive got 4 245/45/R17 Bridgestone Potenzas with just under 10k on them. look nearly new. why go buy new tires? lol. whole reason im buying them is because last friday night i had a incident where i hit an island @ 60mph! so i have 2 good wheels and 2 bad now. idk what im going to do with the 2 good ones

not even gonna think about spending $ 4 drag radials when i dont have a "solid" job @ the moment. and i think that overkill and wasted money on a basically stock 98GT. but ive ordered some 17x9 deep dish 10th anniversary wheels from finishlinewheels.com shud b here in a few days. got 4 of them on sale 4 about $600 shipping ncluded. black with polished lip. theyve got a bunch of nice mustang wheels on sale right now if ne1s nterested. look nice!
