17x8 is limited to a 245/45x17, the 18x8 is limited to a 245/40x18... shoulda got an 18x9 or 9.5 for the back

What he said. Your tire sizes are pretty limited with those wheels.

I had the hardest time finding aftermarket rims in 17s that were atleast 9" wide. All I found were the typical wheels from AR wheels and Corvette wheels mainly.
