The 245's and 235's will both fit wheels 7.50 to 9.00" wide. The 245's seem a tad tall and I couldn't verify fitment since its a wheel we don't carry. For the small difference it might be worth staying with your factory size.

Are you looking for an R tire or a street tire? If its an R tire the Kumho 255/40/17 V700 VictoRacer is a known good fit on stock wheels.

I have 245/45s on my stock tires and they seem to do all right.
