    I'm not sure how 245/45 will fit on the back without rubbing...
    How much fender work have you done?

        your rear tires are too tall, but they do have a 245/35-16. unfortunately no 245/40-16.

          245 35 would be super thin wouldnt it? unless you live in a place with nice rims u might get bent/damaged rims!

            What most people don't realize is that the profile is relative to the treadwidth.
            Go read up about tires on tirerack, and then come back and tell me it's too thin.
            A 185/50/16's sidewall is only 0.3" taller than the 245/35/16.
            Just to give you some perspective.
