Tires are ok, the offset looks wrong. Can you snap a pic of the face of the rim on the back side where it mates up to the rotor? I would like to see something.

Are they used? What car where they on before? What year was it?

Tire and wheel width is fine, SN95 came from the factory with 17x8" and 245/45R17. Problem is definitely the offset ... zero offset is made for 60s / 70 cars. The factory SN95 8" wheels are +30 offset, so you need at least +25 to keep it under the front fender. Sell those wheels to someone with an older Ford or Chrysler.

And no, 245/45R17 should not be put on a 7" wheel. Minimum width for that tire size is 7.5", and 8" or 8.5" is better.


cheers
