What size tyre did you have on the 17x8 4.5 BS ?
Im not no keen on low profile tyres and would rather run 60 series.
As in the link above mate.
There's no way you'll fit 60 series on a 17x8 on the rear. The 45 series I had weren't that low profile, but even then, I had some clearance issues and had to roll the guards. And that was with a 4.75bp. 4.5bp would have it closer to the guard even more. Would have rubbed like crazy for mine. Mind you the hankooks run a little wide I think.
My tire size ended up around the 25.3" overall. If you were to change that to a 235/60 for eg, that would be 28.1". That would have hit the front and rear of my fenders on my car. A 225/60 would still be 2.5" bigger than what I had. If my car was higher maybe, but it would look like a 4wd to me. I have just changed to 20" rear wheels, and my rolling diameter is only .3" greater, as I had to reduce tyre profile to make them fit.
