It would fit.

May I ask why? That's a very tall front tire - 245 on an 8" rim its gonna look bloated

I would recommend using a 245/35/18 tire in order to be closer to the stock tire diameter. You'll have no rubbing issues with this setup.

Any reason you want a square setup? Stock sizes, even with those f-sport rims, are 225/40r18 and 255/40r18.

I believe 245's will rub a bit in the front when you have the wheel turned all the way to the left or to the right.
