      A 305/45/17 would be 27.8 inches in diameter. A 315/45/17 would be 28.16 inches in diameter. I did a quick search at Tire Rack and nothing came up. It may be that no one makes a tire in these sizes. Hope this helps.

      It's going to be tough to find a 17" wheel in that diamater, your best bet would probably be sport truck tires, but you still may not find anything.

      If you step up to an 18" wheel, you could run the 305/45/18 Nitto 555DR. It's 28.8" tall.

      If you want to settle for a tire not quite as wide, there are some 275/50/17 tires around.

      yeah - I wanted to stick with 17" all around... I was just making sure noone made them... ive looked and havent found anything... maybe Mickey Thompson is making something in similar size.... 275/45/17 is what my boss has on his car and they look in my opinion too whimpy... needs more width and sidewall

      BFG also used to make a 345/55/17. I've got a pair of them,bought new,that were going to be run on my El Camino. Only problem,they are a 1/2" too tall for my wheel tubs.
