Need some wheel expertise!

So I am thinking that my wheels might be 17x8 instead of 17x9. I am getting them unmounted sometime soon to get them powdercoated. I have a couple questions.

 

If my wheels are 17x8, is it wierd that I am running a 255 tire?

 

Also my profile is 45 with a 17" wheel. When I get new rubber should I stick with the 45 tire, I will be lowering the car also.

 

And when I get new rubber and I conclude that the wheels are infact 8" wide and not 9" should I go with a 245 instead?

Just get the correct size tire for that rim, so that your speed will read fairly accurate. Who cares if you have a 50 or a 45 sidewall. Not like someones gonna be haha you have a 50sidewall you loser....

oh, and I remember that when you told me your wheels were 9" wide, I was crazy confused because with a small offset, the cobra 17x8's would have come damn close to rubbing. So I was crazy confused as to how you managed that. Also, my 17x9.5's on my Z28 run 275's and I can go as big as 285's.... sooo yuh.
