225 on a 17x9
#3
it's stretched but I'm not sure I'd call it "very stretched".. personally I'd run 235/40 and 255/40
here's a couple of other threads with pics and more information, did you forget to try a search?

very stretched, not stretched at all... it will vary on who you ask...
someone that's into stretched tires might say 205 on a 9 isn't "very stretched"
I personally have 235 on a 9inch in the front and that is the max stretch I would go and yes I know there isn't much of a "stretch".

Most tires spec a 7-8.5" wheel for a 225 width tire. 9" isn't a terrible stretch, but it is outside of the recommended range. I personally wouldn't do it, but many others have.

Go 235/40

Yup, 235/40 makes a ton more sense. It's significantly shorter than a 225/45, probably no more likely to rub, possibly *less* likely to rub.
