I have a Nitto NT01 I want to mount in size 245/45/17. I tried to mount to the stock wheels but it rubbed on the inside wheel well up front. I think if I used a 17x9 FN01rc w/ a 35 offset it would clear. Any body any experience? These tires are amazing but I have nothing I can put them on.

generally, you want to run 265s or 275s on a 10" wide rim.

For 10.5, 275/35/18s for sure.

I have the 17x9 FN01R-C as my track wheel with a 255/40/17 Toyo RA-1 and they clear the fender iners, but are a bit close. A 245/45 is taller than my setup and the increased width combined with decreased offset will push the wheel FARTHER into the liner whenever you turn. You would actually be making it worse for yourself.
You basically just have the wrong tire size. With a 6mm spacer in the front, my setup clears fine. I only needed the spacer because the tires were rubbing on my coilovers, I think if you have stock suspension, the rims would clear just fine, but your tire size isn't gonna work no matter what..
