Abbott had listed the 225/45-17 as their recommended tire size for 17X8" rims. However, remember that as the tire sidewall becomes shorter in relationship to the rim, there is less room for the typical tire sidewall bulge. If you keep the same diameter tire, at some point of increasing rim size the tire sidewall will be absolutely straight. That is why many low profile tires are incorporating "rim protectors", a molded on ridge of rubber in the side wall to help protect the rim.
