They'll fit just fine. The difference between 245 and 235 is that the tread on the 245 is a bit wider. The pros of going with a 245 tire is that you'll have a little bit more tire protection from curbs and maybe a little better handling on the road. The cons fo going with a 235 tire is the opposite result of the pros (for going with 245), less protection from curbs and slightly less handling capability.

I have a friend who had 235/40-18s on his LS on 18x8.5 Antera 143 wheels- the tires looked terribly skinny and waaaay too low-profile. We installed Eibachs, this helped a little- when he got new tires we upgraded him to 245/40-18- to be honest, these stlll look like the sidewalls are too short on a big car like the LS!!
