whats your offset,the 245s will push you pretty close to rubbing with htechs and anything further out than 40 offset,with the other springs gaurantee rubbing.

i mean if you want to play it safe, stick with 225's but i dont believe 245's will rub to much if any at all.

are you 18x7.5 all around? bc i thought about, if it will fit, going 18x7.5 in the front, and 18x8.5 or maybe 18x9.5 in the rear.
