Default Would 245/45/17 tires fit my AP1 with AP2 Rims?

What's up guys!

I did a search for this question but couldn't find anything relevant.

I have an 03 with 04 rims and stock tires. I love these tires (Bridgestone REO50) but I need new rears (245/40/17). I found a great deal on a set of Bridgestones RE01r but they are 245/45/17.

The car currently has H&R springs with a .5 inch drop.

Would I have any issues fitting these tires?

I'm assuming that I will not but I want to double check before I get them.

Thank you for your time!

your speedo will be thrown off a little bit and the tire will be taller in the rear, but there wont be any fitting issues.

though they are not suppose to be the correct tire size, i currently use hankooks with the 245/45/17 in the rear and i haven't noticed any handling flaws to them. althought silentdancer is right about the tach being off. i would say its about 4-5 mph off to what is should be.

I heard the RE01r are great tires and I would be getting a good deal so I guess this might be an ok trade off. Thanks!
