11 real, user-submitted fitments for this exact size. Filter by tyre or rim brand below.

Below are 11 real-world examples of 225/45 R17 tyres stretched onto 9.0J rims, submitted by the community. Tyre stretch is the look created when a 225/45 R17 tyre is fitted to a 9.0J rim (about 229 mm wide) — wider than the tyre's nominal width — pulling the sidewall taut for a flush, stanced fitment. Browse the photos below to see how different tyre and wheel brands look at this combination.

Near enough square at under 4mm of pull, this 225/45 fills a 9 inch 17 with only a suggestion of taper. The 45 profile leaves over 100mm of nominal sidewall. Wider E36 and S14 rear fitments in the scene occupy this bracket, the sidewall visibly fuller than on stretched setups.
