I've tried 235/40 and 225/40 on the 7.5" wheels with the 20mm spacers and I get some rub so I really doubt the 245's will fit without rubbing.

That being said, the 245/35 is a smaller diameter than both so there's some hope I guess. The PO had the car roughly an inch lower in the front than I do (at least the coilover perch was an inch lower) with factory 215's up front and it didn't rub from what I recall (only drove it like that for a few hundred KMs last year).

Might be able to get away with it without having to buy new spacers.
