well the stock rears are 255/40/18. so... a 245/40/18 should be fine... on the rears. u might be able to clear the fronts, MAYBE. it might rub. but.. i think ur speedo might be off just a little because of narrower tire in the rear. the stock cluster is calibrated to run the stagger 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear.

Its gonna look awkward. the fender gap will be even bigger and the rim wont look as good. Since you are lowered you can get some what away with it.
