18x9+45... for the rear it's ok for sure (too inset imho), but i am not sure for the front. the offset seems a bit high to me, and i am worried it will hit the suspension? 9" is wide for the front, but you don't want to push it inward too much

Agree with Henry , he is exactly right. If you wanted to get even closer , a 285/30/19 would be within a quarter of a mm of a 245/35/19 but I don't know if any manufacturer makes up a tire that size. Also afecting overall stance is the width of the rim used. A wider rim would let a tire "spread" more and conversely a too narrow rim would tend to bunch it up a bit either one would have a subtle effect on aspect.
