tire clearence

im in the process of getting some 07 350z rims from my freind. they are 18x8.5 and i know for sure the fit but im not sure about the tire clearence. they originaly came in 225/45/18 on front and 245/45/18 in the rear. now if i go 245 all around would that give me any problems, would i get any rubbing issues. thanks appreciate the help

I think you will need to roll the fenders because when you hit a bump, your rear tires might rub. Are you lowered?
But anyways, that combo should be fine.

not trying to thread jack but I have a similar question. I currently have 225/45-17 and Im lowered on Illuminas/S-techs all around...will it be ok to do 225/50-17? I found a deal on some snow tires in this size.
