Smallest tire on a 17x9 rim?
#2
315/35/17 = 25.68"
275/40/17 = 25.66"
245/45/18 = 25.68"
275/40/17 is the stock tire for the 17x9 factory rims, go with those.
245/45/17 is too narrow IMO for a 9 inch wide rim

are you talking smallest as in across the tread or as in sidewall? For sidewall you can get down to like a 30 but it will be a rough ride and will not be comfortable. For across the tread I wouldnt run anything smaller than a 245.
Be more descriptive and also what are you going to be using it for strip, street, canyon carving?

I have 245/40/17s on the front of my 17x9.5 fronts. I honestly like the look. The sidewalls stretch out a tiny bit but nothing extreme at all. ****, look at the ricers putting 215s on 9.5" rims. As far as I've seen, they haven't run into any problems.
I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies. The car will see the strip a few times, but more a weekend runner.. I would stay with 275's, but I can get a pretty good deal on some 245's so might give that route a shot and watch out for curbs!
