My front wheel is 45 offset as well and without a spacer with 235 tires I was about 2mm from the strut which is quite a bit close, and so I put on a 3mm spacer which sets the edge of the tire right on the inside of the fender, perfect fitment just with some minor rubbing on harsh dips like i said which should be fixed with the rolling, but again, a 245 ud def need atleast a 3mm spacer from the strut which would rub least a bit more and probably still some with a rolling. Theres nothing wrong with a 235/265 setup, just go with that.
Holy thread bump -- I know

But 235/40 is taller than a 245/35 so are you sure you weren't rubbing due to the excess height? I would think with enough camber, a 245/35 would fit on the fronts assuming a low 40 offset.
