Default Will Nitto 555 tires fit my wheels?

I really like the nitto 555 and I have 17x10.5 and 17x9 03/04 cobra rims on my 95 cobra. Will the 245/45/R17 and the 275/40/R17 fit my rims? I have heard nitto's run small is this true? Anyone running this setup?

Reccomended tire size for 17x10.5 is 315/35/17 For 17x9 its 275/40 17 ,I have 245/45/17 on my fronts and dont have issues but I read that you could seperate the bead in a corner resulting in a blowout and it gives a ricer look due to the sidewall streching on the rim , although on my current fronts it seems like I get a better tire footprint than I do on the rear with a 275/ 40 /17 there looks to be an inch on each side that does not meet the road and the tire pressure is accurate
