Tire question.

hi, can i put a 245/45 17 on a 7.5 inch wide wheel for drag racing? also, would that fit just in the front of my gst? (dont need them in the rear). my rim offset it +38.

245 is going to be to big for a 7.5in rim. I know if will work with an 8in. rim but with 7.5in it is to much I beleive.

do you know if a 245/45 17 will fit with a 38 rim offset?

Although probably not the best for handling, at least some 245/45/17's are spec'ed for 7.5 wheels. And yes, the offset is okay.

Wouldn't a 40 series tire be better than a 45 the roll out would be closer to the same and in all actuality a smaller diameter tire will be better than a huge tire for rotating mas but i would say the stock roll out would be great. just my .02.
