anyone running 245 on the rear?

[shorty123]

it seem like the nearest i can get to standard rolling diameter using a 17 inch wheel is to use 245 40 17 tyres. Do 245's fit in the arch or rub?

A lot of us run 245x45 on the std 16" rears,245 is still 245 on whatever dia. rim after all,so i doubt the extra 1" in wheel dia will make that much difference,even at 45 profile they would still only sit 1/2" higher in the arch,40 profile would be less than 1/2" obviously.
