I put a set of Goodyear Eagle GSC's on our stock 17"x7" stock rims .... with no rubbing five ppl in car under tire sliding cornering with no rubbing. I dont know about the 8" I dont know if that will make a difference. Just my experience with mine!

Installed the 245's. No rubbing at all so far. I did full turns, hard breaking, steering wheel turned to locked position all the way left and right, etc... Now, this was just with me in the car, but still, it's a good sign. Oh, and can I say "WOAH!" talk about grip. 245/40ZR-17 Toyo T1-S are VERY VERY grippy :-)
I'll have pictures and more detail up Monday night.

You need to update your sig.
The 245/40-17s are now 1.5 lbs lighter per tire (than the 235/45s) -- you can add 6 lbs to your rotational diet
Your torque will be up by 3% as well...

Is the 3% increased torque due to the smaller O.D.?

Technique, is your car lowered with Comptech springs? I know your sig does not indicate so, but I thought I read a post by you a couple weeks ago that indicated you were running on the SSR Comps with 235/45-17 Toyos AND Comptech springs AND no rubbing.
