Ive got 245's on the VR, it only scrubs in the rear under occasional hard cornering. Or when I have a car full of passengers and luggage.

i have 245's on the VN, and that scrapes a little on the rear on hard bumps, but thats mainly cause the rear arches havent had the lip rolled over. Depending on wheel offset you may struggle for clearence on the front strut where the spring sits. If u wanna try a wheel with a 245 on it and see how it goes, we can tee up a time next week to throw one of mine on and see if it clears.
