245s should fit. The GNX had 245s on the front, and 255s on the back, although the were 16s, not 17s, but the width should be about the same. I've had 245s on the back of mine, in 15" size, and they fit fine. Others run much bigger on the back. There may be some rubbing on the front, depending on what wheels you get.

No issues with a 245 tire in the back. I have 295/35x18's on a Simmons F Series, 18x9.5.

I have 245/45/17 on 8" Cragar S/S rims. I like the look of the new tech 17" with the old school look of the S/S. The design is a classic plus the chrome really shines on an all black car. If you like polished, the ARE Torq-thrust II is pretty nice looking and along the same classic lines. Both are reasonably priced ($200-$250 ea.) and should not be a problem to get at your local wheel shop. I did have some tire scrub in the rear but a new set of springs cured that so it was not a fitment problem. I do have just a little tire scrub in front at steering lock but again it may just be my car. The only thing I don't like is the S/S's are steel so they are heavy compared to aluminum.
