Not with my current set-up. I'm getting Comptech springs installed in a few weeks and hopefully won't have a problem.

hell no. no rubbing. not on a stock setup, and not on a comptech spring setup. I've tested both with 235/45-17.

I currently have 245/40-17 on a stock setup and no rubbing.

I don't think you wanna go that route!!! It REALLY depends on what rims you have and how far they stick out. A guy on this site has the OZ Super L's and is on 225/45/18 and rubs like MAD!! If he gets 225/40s, he should be OK. I would not go any bigger than 235/40. 235/45 is not even close to stock diameter. Your speedo will be WAY OFF!!

it's 6% off ... for every 100 miles you get 6 miles. Damn, I put these tires on for 12K on the clock so I got approx 600miles extra
