Tyres have to be fitted to appropriately sized rims.
A 245 will legally only go on a 8 to 9" wide rim. Some shops will stretch tyres, but they should tell you it's not legal. Other shops plain old won't do it. Plus it really only suits VIP styled jap cars. FAT rubber is the go for a XR8.

You ordering direct?
I had fun dealing with them when I 'tried' to order mine
Gave up after I had to chase them down 3 times over the phone for simple info on offset, each time they said they'd ring me back with the numbers
