Wheel Fitment Guide
If you are stock height the rear will probably be fine. I have an inch drop with 8.5 ET 40 on a 245 and it just rubbed the wall over bumps. If you are lowered I’d be tempted to put a 245 width on and even then it will be close. Fronts not sure.
225/45 is the correct aspect ratio for 225 17” tires.
I'd also add that at stock height this setup will also poke out of the fenders a bit, enough that it will look awkward.
Edit to clarify:
I initially misread this. Thought you meant 17x9.5 +50. I see that you meant 17x9+50. My reference is from 17x9.5+50. There might be slight differences in wheel "poke" from whee lip protrusion but tread block position within, and outside of, the fender should be largely the same.
With that setup you'll have a taller front tire than rear. IDK how it will drive however it will definitely look weird. Also depending on brand on model of tire 225 on a 9 inch wheel will look pretty stretched and is usually out of the recommend mounting range.
Obviously it is outside the recommended mounting window, I am simply commenting on aesthetics.
also yeah 225/45 is taller than 245/40 that’s a good point.
Yes varying tastes. That's not "hellaflush" per se however the tire bead has a decent amount of pull away from the wheel lip and bead. I wouldn't do a double take however it isn't to my tastes. Your mileage may vary I suppose.
