Widest tire that'll fit...


I have some wheels that are 17x7. I got 'em for my old '03 Eclipse. Anyway, they are a FF offset, but, oddly, they bolt up to the 'Stang...
I might use 'em as a back-up/track wheels. Whatayall think the widest tire I should run on 'em?
The 17x8 Cobras I have now are 245/45 at all 4 corners...

Or is this all just a bad idea????????????????

00 is 8, the S197's are 7... I think. The tires on the 197 are more narrow...
