On a separate note why is it that so many folks here don't understand basic tire sizing? They only bother to look at width not realizing how profile changes height.
OP I would much rather run 245/35 square with a 2-3mm spacer up front than rim a 235/40 which is 0.6" taller than stock. That alone would be enough to cause running due to being too tall. 245 gives you benefit of more traction up front while maintaining stock height. If I were to upsize, I wouldn't go more than 225/40 which is 1/3" more. It'll provide a more comfortable ride, fill out wheel gap and work well with factory wheel widths. But seeing how you got 8.5" et45, go 245/35 and pick up a spacer from Apex (free s&h).

Yep. 235/40 and 245/35. No rubbing despite what you might think. Also, I'm fully aware of the height difference and bought it intentionally so I wouldn't assume that people don't understand it though in some cases I'm sure you're right. Roads in Chicago can be tough and some extra radius is ok in my book. BTW diameter is increased by about 0.6 but the radius (ride height) is increased by 0.3.
