245s? wtf??? Why would you put that narrow of a tire on there? That really hurts you bro... 275s on the rear are the minimum imo... if by chance they are OEM rims, you may be able to get 400 for them... assuming the tires are in great shape and a decent brand... Id probably offer you 300-350 or so for them... no insult intended but whoever buys them (unless theyre looking for THAT size tire) will automatically replace them with a wider set...

Are you sure 245/45s are the size of your tires? If so thats not the correct size to run.

From the pic you posted the wheels look to be in good shape. Do any of them have curb rash or clear coat peeling? How do the tires look tread wise, and what brand are they?

If the tires are a good brand, have decent tread, and the wheels are in really nice shape you could probably get $500 for the set.

But like what has been previously said most people interested in the wheels will know those are the wrong size tires and they wont care about them, meaning they will pay less since the tires are worthless to them.

Two of the tires are Ventus Hr2's. And Two of them Are Falken's.
Three of the rims do have curb rash, not to bad though... And the tires are all in pretty decent condition.. ( 60% - 75%) If i had to guess.

youre looking at 350 tops.. now if someone wants to put them on a different setup than an fbody they may pay more since it fits their needs.... I doubt you will find a top dollar buyer on here.. you would likely have better luck locally or on Craigslist...

If they are oem wheels they are 8.5 wide and 245 45 is the correct size.

Okay cool ill look around for some used 305s or 315s. I was planning on powdercoating the rims black i have now and just runing some drag radials but i didnt think any of those sizes would work. So i was going to try and sell these to get a drag setup.
Thanks For The Info
