will 245/45/19 fit and clear on a 19x8.5 et35 rim

I see most people are running a 245/40/19 on their setups, will the 245/45 work? They are 27.7 in diameter compared to the 26.7 of the 245/40. Getting the BMW M3 replicas and will lower on H&R's soon. Am i asking for trouble down the road on this slightly over sized tires. I just prefer a little more sidewall for looks and ride. Thanks for your responses...

I would say without a drop, you have no issues. With A-spec springs, probably not. With HRs however, I would be . The HRs drop over 2 inches. People here have reported rubbing with 8.5"s, HRs and 5 people in the car. That's with stock size.

Are you not concerned with the milage/speed offset?
