I have to get new tires today and I wanted to know what is the largest possible size we can get? I have 17 inch rims. I always thought that the largest is 225 45 17. Please help me out with this guys. I am leaving in about an hour to pick up some new tires.

Check the specs of your rims to make sure they can acommodate a 245 width tire. You can usually get away with ~ 10mm of additional width due to manufactures safety factors but that's up to you to decide ultimately.
