Third - The 17" part means nothing for the tire width. We need to know the width of the rim, not just the height.
Fouth - Why did you put this in the appearance section instead of where it goes?

im gonna pay for my tires today.
245/45/17 and 275/40/17 are the recommended tire sizes for a 17x9 inch rim if you want to stagger.
staggering ftw.

...245's too narrow for a 9" wheel...255 iffy...265 maybe but 275 is a perfect fit for a 9" wheel...here we go again

here we go again, ive seen pics 100 times of a 245 on a 9 inch rim. the tire sits flush with the rim.
i'm buying 245's for the front and 275's for the rear.

Good luck with that...sitting flush is NOT what you want...don't come crying here when you curb up you new wheels...Ford put 245's on 8" wheels and 275"s on a 9" wheels for a reason...who do you think is right..the dude at discount tire or the Ford designers and engineers who I guess have just a bit more knowledge in this kind of stuff...but its your call
275's on the front of my car...perfect fit
295's on a 10" on the rear... again perfect fit

I have 245/40/18's on the front. They DO fit perfectly but there isn't much rim protection. That's OK though just don't hit any curbs

That looks stretched.

Does anybody want to hear what the technique is to get maximum performance out of any tire size?

looks stretched if you ask me...because you can get them mounted does not mean they fit properly

never put them on the car?
If you had to run a certain size tire, you could maximize its performance by stretching the tire. I don't recommend it for street vehicles but a lot of road racers that are limited by a certain size tire will get larger rims so that they can stretch the tire just to the point where it won't pop the bead off on a corner.

Welcome to 3.Hate
i had 255s on my old rims that were 8" wide, 9" needs 275s and 10.5 needs 315s or 295s.
