Works and looks good. 245x45 might look bad on the fronts, and might not fit the 9" wheel very well. (in reply to 1hotdrp) Post #: 2

It`s better to have a smaller tire up front. That way the 315`s will look huge. _____________________________ 04 GT 5 spd---Predator--FRPP 4.10`s--MAC catted H--BBK CAI--Flowmaster 40`s--MGW 05 Ranger 4X4---4.10`s--K&N CAI (in reply to 1hotdrp) Post #: 4
