245? The reason i post the quest. is becouse i did a test fit. of 225/45. xsevere your 100% right. I wanted that look..looks sweet. but damn, im thinking now rubbing issues.. I think the 8.5 is whats killing me right now, tire is past the fender.
just wanted some more info has anyone usd the same wheel size wih diff. tire size and have no rubbing issues without rolling.. or is rolling the answer now???

If you like the stretched look a 215/40/17 would probably work out for you.
Here's some pics. Note that different tire brands stretch a tad bit different.

If you want a tire more square with the rim and low profile go with 235/35

You're welcome. Just noticed in your first post you said you didn't want to be stretched. You may want to check out what xseveredveganx suggested, the 225/45. That'll have very minimal stretch, almost square with the wheel, and a bit more sidewall than the 215/40.
