Anyone running 245/45 r17 tires on 7x9 wheels? I could get a good deal on 7x9 wheels, but I want to keep my brand new tires. I'm not sure if they will look stretched or not.

245 is as narrow as Id go. I actually picked up a set of wheels over the winter that have 245/40 18s on the 9" fronts. I'd say they look slightly stretched. My favorite width for a 9" wheel up front is a 265.
Here's a couple pics of the 245 on an 18x9

Yeah if that was anything but a Nitto you would have lots of sidewall bulge. I can find pics somewhere if you're curious

I have 315 NT555 DRs on my 10.5, and they barely bulge. I just purchased the Nitto 275 NT555 G2 for the front to replace the old 275 Falkens on the factory 17x8 Bullits... I then had to order 17x9 wheels from LMR because the Nittos are an inch wider than the 275 Falkens lol.
