You might be ok with stock wheels, but with aftermarket wheels, some claim rubbing at turning the wheel full lock. I got cobra replicas w/ 245's and they rub slightly at full lock.

should be alright. If it does rub it will be very little and only at full lock.

With the proper off-set, you will have no issues with that tire, as it is OEM diameter and only 3/4" wider.
