What Size Tyre Will Fit

[Keith Bowler]

Sorry to ask this sort of question again but I am getting a set of 17" X 8" wide original fitment second generation Lexus wheels with a 50mm offset as spares whilst I get my original sport wheels refurbed.

I have been advised that they will fit my Mk1 GS300.

I am getting conflicting advice on what size tyres will fit and am totally confused now.

Can someone let me know what common size readily available tyre size will fit.

I do know that a 245 45x17 will give virtually the same rolling circumference but can you fit 245 wide tyres on an 8" wide wheel? I have 245 wide tyres on my 8.5" wide sport wheels and they look a tight fit.

Any advice appreciated!!

I have 245 on my 20 X 8 so they will fit no problem
