I just bought some 17 inch rim wit 255/45/17 tires and the back is rubbing. the outside or the back tire is rubbing on the edge of the rear fender. My brother say it my struts and they need to be replaced. Anyone have 255/45 tires and doesnt rub?

What year ES is your ES?
Like truongsta8 said, 255/45/17 is WAY too big for the ES (at least for the `97-01).
225 is probably the thickest, some one might be able to confirm this?
I'm riding on 225/40/18, and I'm thinking of going up to 225/45/18, I'm not sure yet.
