sure? it will be slightly stretched and not the 'ideal' size. then there's the whole mismatched tire thing for the rears which everyone has a different opinion on

I'd say the wheel is 1/2" too big. It will work, but the sidewall might look a little odd. Not sure about safety. Probably safer than going the other way and putting a 245 on a 7.5" wheel.
