Default OT=Tire size question

I bought a used Audi with the wrong size tires on it. I am trying to sell them as they are brand new but I cannot find what they fit? They do not even show up on Tirerack.com?
They are:
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 245/ 40R17
Help? ?

They should fit 17" rims with width of 8" to 9.5". Maybe even 10" wide rims will fit, but I think the tires will stretch a bit on those.

Any idea what car that would be or is it an aftermarket application?

The car doesn't matter. Honda, VW, Ford, if they make wheels of that size for them, those tires will fit. If you're thinking of selling them on Ebay or craigslist just post the tire size and you'll be all set. Most people know what they're looking for before they start browsing the ads. You also might want to go to Audiworld, Audizine, and VWvortex and post them in their respective classifieds. You shouldn't have a problem selling winter tires quickly at this time of the year. Good luck
