Bill: I had talked with my 'tire expert' at the local Saab dealership, since I was doing something similar. 235 is about the widest you want to go - the 245's will almost definitely rub on bumps and turns. You could also send a note to the guys at www.1010tires.com with your questions - they are excellent!
