245 is a little narrow on a 9.5" wheel. Stock 17" wheels are 9.0" wide with 275/40 tires. I'd go with a 275/35R18, it's stock width and the same overall diameter, plus it looks a lot better on a 9.5" wheel. I have 18"x10.5" C6 motorsport wheels all the way around and they fit perfectly. No clearance issues front or rear. The offset is +58 mm. They look killer, but I need to lower my car now more than ever. I have the stock "Jeep" ride height at the moment. I use 275/35R18 tires, but only because I got them for free. They look too narrow for the wheel. Being too narrow also makes the tire look shorter because the shoulder of the tire doesn't curve as sharply due to the sidewalls being stretched apart from one another. They would look much better on a 9" or a 9.5" wheel. The 10.5" wheels need at least a 295 IMO. I'll be switching to a 295/35R18 front and a 315/30R18 rear when the tires I have wear out.
