245/40's with Tein S-Tech Springs-- Is it possible?!?

Anyone have that setup? Would it be too big/create unneccessary rubbing on the inside of the fender? Is there any reason for me not to go to this setup? If someone has pics, I'd greatly appreciate a look. Gracias. :D

I have those springs. My tires are 235/35 front and 265/30 in rear on 19in rims. I have no rubbing issues at all.

Question still applies...

Bump...

Can anyone else offer experience with this matter? I'm still on stock wheels, and am looking at 245/40's. Already have Tein S-Techs installed.

Thanks.

Okay, I got it figured out now...

Thanks, gents. I spent a few minutes playing around with a tire size calculator; got some gray areas cleared up. 245/40's it is. Guess I'm a little hesitant about getting different tire sizes after recently replacing stock truck tires with larger ones. Had to pull out the dremel & saws-all for that one.
