    Flat tire, need help with rim size and tires.

    Hello, I got a flat tire on the way to work today. I have a 2001 GT with the stock bullit rims. Are these 17x8 or 17x9? I currently have 245 45s on the front and 275 40s on the back. I will be buying four new tires. What size should I get? Would 255 45s work well all around? Thanks,
