245/45/17 falcons on 7 "wide with a 45 offset?

like the tittle says. im getting a really good deal on these falcon tires. practically dirt cheap and brand new. my current tires are done and i was wondering if this would work fine. im going back to stock hight tomorrow. switching out the tokicos for some stock r1 suspension. never had that big of a tire before on a small rim so just wondering,

Seriously, that's a downgrade from stock, which are 8" wide. Also, 245/45/17's are taller than stock, a more appropriate size is 245/40/17. You could probably mount them on those wheels, but it'll be a bit of a stretch and is beyond any tire manufacturers reccomendations for max tire size on that wheel size. Also, I think you mean Falken tires, since I've never heard of Falcon.

Maybe think of something more along the lines of 17x9's with 255/40/17's.
