Tire size question

OK, so I have the stock 245/45/17 tires on the goat and I was wondering if I go to a 245/40/17 would I have any issues, besides a speedo difference? There should not be any chance for strut rub because the tire is actually shorter in diameter, correct? If anyone has any input please let me know. Thanks

Most rims will accommodate a size up or down. I see no reason whey the 40"s won't fit on the rim. Other than a thinner profile, the chances of strut rub will be diminished.

Go ahead and add the nitto drag radials in the back you won't be dissappointed. The 275/40/17's fit fine with no strut rub on mine.
