will 8" wheels fit, with 245/45/17?
Like title says. Not sure on the offset, but they're from a '99 Mustang GT. I have these on my RX-7, but my friend wants to borrow them for a vacation, since his tires are in dangerously bad condition, and mine are nearly brand new.
So, has anyone tried something that size?

Yes, I realize that, they're my wheels.
We went ahead and tried it. There is some minor rubbing on the front side of the plastic inner fender lining, and it rubbed once on the very inner most lip of the outer fender. I was quite surprised they fit in there as well as they did. Obviously, they stick out a bit more than the stock wheels, but that gives it a mean stance.
