You shouldn't have any rubbing with that size, depends on your wheel offset. Try the "Official Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide" in the stickies

OEM Stock Supra wheels are the best guideline for max fitment with oem offsets of +50

235/45-17

You will be very close running 245's

Not true, I ran rear supra wheels with 275x40?-17's with zero rubbing, and the car handled great..

245s up front are fine..any rubbing would be due to offset if anything. As far as in the back, Ive got 275s back there and I'm ok.

My rims are +45 offset.
Currently tire size up front is 245/40/18 up front. Rear is 265/40/18.
