17 x 7's can i fit 245 on the rear?

can 245 fit on a 7" safely?

i want to go wider on the rear.
i was able to pick up some 17x7's
currently i hav 225 45 17 all around.
but i would like to get better tires on the back.

also

if i keep the front tires one brand, but get some really nice rear tires, does that look trashy or acceptable?

You know your stock ones are 8" wide, right? 245 is pushing it for a 7" wide wheel in my opinion. It will fit, and I know alot of people do it, but I think 225 is a much better choice.
