Default 245/35/20 will it fit?

I have a AWD running stock height, i was wondering if i put 245/35/20 on my rims will they fit? I am just looking for a little more sidewall of the tire, 235/35/20 sidewall is 3.24 and the sidewall of 245/35/20 is 3.38 the overall diameter different is .27 what do you think???

I have the IS350 and the first tires i got were 245-35-20. They will rub even if you heat the front plastic like i did. I now have 235-35-20 and no rubbing. Now if you still want to try it and need some tires let me know i still have the 245-35-20 sitting in my garage they are practically brand new. Maybe a couple of hundred miles on them.

what brand 245/35/20s do you have? i tried the same thing, so i ended up with a 225/35/20. 235/35 goes much better on an 8.5" wide wheel.

I run 235/20/30 and 275/30/20 on my 20s. No rubbing whatsoever at stock height, including U-turns.

I got the Hankook Ventus Sprot K104 245-35ZR-20. Now i'm running Nittos 555 235-35-20 on the front and 275-30-20 for the rear. If anyone is intrested i'm looking for $135 plus shipping on both tires. I'll have it in the for sale thread when i get some pictures.
