Stock tires on a 17x9 rim?


I of course have the 17x8 stock rim (not sure of the exact tire size but whatever is normal), can i get these tires to seal on a 17x9 rim? has anyone done it?

245 45 17 will fit on a 17x9 rim without any problem. They won't look right but will work until you can buy some other tires. A buddy and I parted out a 99 Cobra with 03-04 Cobra chromies. The tires were brand new but were 245s. Don't look the greatest but work just fine and for the price, they were hard to beat.
