What works on a Monte does not transfer to a Cutlass and it is the shape of the wheel well that is the limitation, I am guessing since the OP wants all the same rim and tire sizes that maxing out the rim size is probably not a concern.
Tire size with 17x8 wheels.

I tried a 18x8 with 4.5 bs and with a 245/45 18 last night on the front. That was no dice rubbed the inner fender but it cleared the sway bar just fine. I think if I stay under a 25.75 dia tire I will be fine in the front. Thanks for all the replies guys! I think a 245/45R17 will work for all 4 corners. I'm going to order 2 of them to see if they will clear the front first.
Those style of wheel is what I'll be buying they look damn good on my cutlass! Sorry for the multi replies. Posting from my phone haha
Duh, forgot i had these screenshots! These cutlass pics are from a member on here that i found a while back in the wheel fitment thread. He is running 17x8 with 4-1/2" BS on all four corners....245/45 rubber on the front, and this car is bagged. Therefore, at stock height or even a 1" drop they should fit fine.
I would imagine at that ride height it rubs up front if you turn the wheel any more than that.
thats pretty close to what I'm going to be running once my rear tires are in. How do you like that size/setup?
I'm have Toyo proxes 245/45r17 up front and am having 245/45r17 MT ET street Rs in the rear.
To the OP I also wish there were more 17 in tire options.
I was wanting to know a size that would fit the car good. If the 245/45r17 fit well, I just hope they keep making them!! Haha
This car looks like it has blazer spindle and/or big brakes or Wheel spacers. The wheels seem spaced out a little much for 245's on 8" with 4.5" BS. Maybe its only 4.25" or 4" BS?. I run 255's in front on my T-type and 2+2 an my tires don't stick out that far.
