Default Question about tires???

Okay guys, need new rear tires for the Lex. Currently have
17X8 Momo Sport wheels with a 35mm offset. Car is currently
running Dunlop Sport 8000 w/235 45 all the way around.
Want to put 275 40's on the back and 245 45's on the front.
Anybody see any problem with this. These tires will give me the
25.6 to 25.7 diameter I'm needing. Please reply. Back tires are in bad shape.

well 245's is a little large on a 8" wide wheel...275 is REALLY pushing it...optimally...

245's go on 8.5"
275's go on 9.5"

If you're going to keep those wheels, I'd suggest you stay with the 235's...245's would work but they're going to bulge out a little (SUV style)...
