Default I'm running them on Flik FTD 17x8 wheels

Kumho V710 R-Compound tires on Flik FTD 17x8 wheels.

The car is on Stasis Tracksports.

I got a little rubbing on the front fenders. Nothing a little fender rolling didn't fix.

If you goto the tire manufactures website they should list the min size rim the tire should go on.

Default Most 245 series tires require rim width of at least 8" to mount properly.

This is a tire dependent issue, so check the specs of the tires you are thinking about using.
