As a matter of fact I'm running that exact size on my rear right now. That's about 9 1/2" wide. I've got them on my ole Drifz wheels, 17x7, nothing special, the usual aftermarket offset. I know that probably sounds ridiculous but after researching I found out how wide a tire I could throw on that size wheel and the max was like 265 I think, before you started to have problems. I didn't want to push it though lol

If I can recall correctly, 245/45/17 tires won't fit on the front due to the strut being in the way. I'm currently running 215/45/17's on the front, the frt. wheels are also 17x7. 225/45/17 would probably fit in the front w/o a prob.

As far as fitting on a coupe I honestly don't know. I can tell you that on my old hatch I was running Eibach Sportline's (2.5"ish) drop and everything was good. On my current hatch I've got Dropzone springs with the wheels/tires, looks good, no rubs.

If the coupe and hatch aren't any different then yeah should fit. I'll post some pics up tomorrow if ya want to see.

myeah coupes are a little different in the rear, it's been raining but once it clears up a little I'll try and get some pics.

Scottsdale's not that far from Ft. Huachuca iirc
