After a ton of research it seems like the issue with running 245 front on this car is more about rubbing on the fender, not so much the strut. Going from 225 -> 245 only moves the tire <3mm closer to the strut so I don't think it will rub on the strut, but at 35 offset on an 8.5" width wheel you're pushing the rim ~23mm out towards the fender which scares me. Good to hear that you have no problems clearing the strut on 245, but how about rubbing on the fender? Can you hit full compression without rubbing or is it pretty sketchy?
