Has anyone put a Victoracer 245/45/16 on a 7" wide rim?

The problem is are you maximizing the tire. If you have to pull the tire in to seat on the wheel you are also pulling the outside of the tire off the ground to do it. On top of the fact that the sidewall is pulled in. There is always an optimal wheel size for a given tire. Can you do it? Probably. Would I recommend it? No
I hope this helps.

Well do you think a 225/50/16 would give more contact patch than a 245/45/16 on a 7" wide wheel? I figured they would be about the same but was favoring the 245 because of the gearing advantage since it is .3" shorter.

It would depend on the individual tire. The tire mfg. recommend a minimum rim width for a reason. To put on a wider tire and the outside shoulder is not on the ground doesn't make any sense. As far as the gearing goes, yes it is a little shorter but it is also a liitle heavier.
I would not recommend it.
