I'd definitely go with 18x8.5 et42 if that were an option. With my 19x8.5 et42 front, my wheel is 3.5 mm from my strut. So if you get a tire much wider than your wheel you might have to add a 3mm spacer. It's tough to ever get a 245 to fit up front. You might actually need to add a little rear camber too if you can get up to 245s. But that will probably work better anyways with all the front camber you'll be running.

I see what your concerns with 19s are. That's exactly what I'm thinking about since my highway and local road are not the best in USA, so I might opt for 18s since it gives me peace of mind anyway.
What wheels are you running up front? Yeah, I know its pretty hard to fit 245/35 all around even with spacer, it might rub against the fender as well especially with meaty Michelin PSS. Well, we'll see how it goes, I might try to fit my stock RFT (245) up front and decides from there.
Thanks!
