Default 245/45 on 18" OEM?

I'm wondering how 245/45 will fit on the LS? Since the tire will be slightly wider and lower i'm wondering if it will be leave a noticeable gap between the tire and the fender? Also, would this have any other negative impact? Has anyone tried this size on OEM 18" wheels?

Fits VERY well on the stock 18s.

I had them on my LS430 when I had the original 5 spokes, then I changed to the GS430 wheels just recently and still have them on. They work and look great

I installed the yokohama 245/45 on my LS460 L 18" oem wheels, the type is silent and they are rated to 300km/hr. They are great and quiet on the road and do look better than the 235/30 wheels.

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear that those tires will look good but i've been having issues with getting in and out of steep driveways and i'm concerned that this size tires won't help in that regards.
