Default HELP NEEDED! Will these tires fit?

Someone help me because i found a set of NEW tires for dirt cheap!

My rims are 20x8.5front/offset 45mm and 20x10 rear/offset 40mm. My car is a 2002 GS300. Would these tires be okay?

The tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar.
(2) 245/45ZR20
(2) 255/45ZR-20

Would this be okay on my wheels??? THANKS!!

And i have no plans to lower the car.

Fronts are fine, I would go 275/30/20 or 285/30/20 on the rears.

275 on the rear will look better than a super stretched 255

Just noticed for the front I would do 245-35-20, the 45 sidewall would be huge

The only reason i asked for that size was because the guy has that exact set brand new for only $200. If it fits then it was a good deal.

a 245/45/20 will rub like crazy. the rear might work, but thats realy big for sedan. that's a truck or suv size tire.

the c300/charger have bigger wheel wells, but for $200 try them out, if they don't work you can always sell them; you might even make some money.

I can't believe some of the responses... NO THESE TIRES ARE NOT OK! If you want to buy the tires and sell them for a profit, then use the money to purchase PROPER sized tires, go for it. These tires are waaaay out of spec.

Don't just throw crap on your ride that doesn't belong there, even if it was free.

That answers my question then.

So the right tire would be.....

Front - 245/35/20
Rear - 275/30/20

Am i correct?

yes, the right tire size would be exactly that. If in case you wanted to with a slightly safer size, you could go 30 series in front, but your going to feel the bumps a bit more.

For a bit more information, go to http://www.lgwnorcal.com/articles/index.html#null and check out the wheel fitment guide. Should answer your questions and help you make some good choices about "cheap" tires. Good luck and post pics...

245/30-20 Front
275/30-20 Rear

You can also go to tirerack.com and it will select the proper tire size based on wheel diameter.
