Is there a snowballs chance that I could run 245/40r17 on my klingons?

I currently have 225/45r17 on there and found a set not 5 miles from here for 125 bucks.


I think they may be a hair wide....

Are Klingons 7.5" wide? If so, I say nay.
Even if 8" wide you will have some stretch going on me thinks.

Look up the spec of the tire on the manufacturers website. They usually list optimal rim size.

I'd be more worried about rubbing.

there is no way those are going to fit without rubbing if you are running anything other than stock suspension, and i'd say it's iffy even with stock suspension.

225/45r17 on the rear was pretty tight. I sort of figured 245 would be really really tight if they would even fit on klingons.

Was worth asking.

How abouts 225/50r17?

Also just found a local pull of pair.

Spacers would work... I bet it would clear in the front if they can get on the rim. Rear inside is where I have been dang close.

I may end up with a pair of 225/50r17 due to a long story about a junk yard, wrong part, and no returns except for credit.
