245 tire too big for 7inch wheel?
Now the first thing to point out is this would be strictly for straight line.

I'm wondering If I can fit the 245 hoosier drag radial on a 7 inch wide rim or is that just too much rubber for such a small wheel?

I'm running 245/40/17 Star Specs on the OEM 9 MR BBS wheels. I think you'll be fine.
