correction. you may want 235.
on the front at least.

just checked mine. they are 235/35/19
if you put 245 im pretty sure it will hit the balljoint.
and if to low will hit the guard easier.

Ive got 235 with the same wheels on the front at the moment, however I DID have 245s on the front with no issues, so up to you, 245s will be that bit wider so if your car is low you might want to look at rolling the lip on the guards.

I had 245's on the EL on GTP's. Had to run decent camber to stop them from hitting the guards and also had them lipped. 235's are much better, but harder to find in a cheaper tyre.
