I ran 245/45R18's no problem. I'm sure you will be fine if you have stock offset wheels.

Yeah, what size wheels, and what offset. I run 255/45/17's, with no issues.

I have the same size you are looking at on both of my cars with no issues. 17X8, zero offset on the 92 and 17X8.5, 26mm offset for the 89

ahhh i got another question could i also run like a 255/55/17 in the back and make the tire a lil taller or what? would a 255/55/17b fit in the rear?

Depends on your brake upgrades too. I've got the 1LE hubs and my 245/50R16 rub the inner tire cover at full lock because the hubs push the wheels out farther.

all my brake stuff is stock

On an 8" wheel, I would probably just run 245. I have 8.5" wide wheels, and 255's are about the max i would run on my wheel, I think you would be better off with 245's on the 8" wheel.
