hey brad, i found with that size tyres mine touches on the shell, where i have crudely circled in the pic. where the panel that sits behind the front wheel finishes, the shell leads towards the rear of the car at a 90 degree angle. that is where the tread (not the sidewall) rubbed slightly. it is a height problem not a width. the extra 1 inch from standard creates the problem.
i now have 225 x 50 which makes it easily, but you can move the wheels forward (it is called the caster, i believe) slightly and that will get around it as well. the only problem is that if the wheels are moved too far forward the wheel does not centre in the wheel arch
245 x 50 are ok in height alone, although i believe the width is ok too
hope this helps
