I think MaxBandit has 245s and he said it rubbed slightly at full turn.

Yup, I'm running 18x8 with a 45 offset with 245/40/18's and it does rub when the steering wheel is fully engaged.

There's no way for us to know unless you try it (unless someone else has and post re: it)... I'm sure it will be more than liveable if it even rubs at all.
