Default Quick Question, Need Quick Answer

Ok this might sound kind of silly, but before I go and order $500+ on tires, I need to know this for a fact.
I have a Sunoco Hood and four 17X9.5 ZR1's goin on my Z28 when I put it back on the road here in a couple of weeks.
Im getting 285/40 's out back and I want to run 245/45's out front.
I have a tire size calculator and it will look just fine, but Im not sure if a 245/45/17 will fit a 9.5" wide rim.

Im pretty sure it will, I just want to make sure.
So will a 245/45/17 tire fit on a 17X9.5 rim?

Your really pushing it with 245's on a 9.5" rim.

Just go 255 to be safe.
