Message a 245 tire. Are you sure about the offset? I've run MANY wheels around that size in the front, including 18x9 +30 (which shares a common center with your wheel but is 1/4" wider on the inner and outer portions, and that was with a 275 tire).

In either event if the wheels is indeed an 8.5" width, you could run a larger spacer to get more clearance from the caliper. Look on the inside of the wheel to confirm both the offset and the width.

The 9.5 +25 won't be any better. In fact, it'd be worse.

So many times I thought we were going to fly off the track. Absolutely nuts, but it was great fun."
