do you mean 255/40/17? cause the 45's would be MUCH larger then stock. and will slow you down drasticly. they are 26" tall.

but to actually answer your question, yes they will most likely rub on the fender lip.

more than likely. They are too tall

The 255/40R17 would work on most cars. The 255/45R17 will not work.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
