I run 265/35/18 +30 offset on Tein flex coilovers, I had to roll as I had minimal rub on large bumps, still get a little rub if I slam hard on the highway - I live in MI, roads are horrible. Many people run this setup and experience no rub, with 245's you should be fine.

Need to take a few thing into account:

Wheel width
ride height
amount of camber
different tires have different widths.

I would still get rolled... it seems like that spec will get you rubbing. Especially most likely when you hit a bump

I would highly recommend a different tire size for these wheels. A 245/40/17 tire would be ideal or even a 255/40/17 tire (will definiately require fender rolling with this wheel). A 245/45/17 tire is taller than your OEM diameter and may rub on the fender liner if your car is lowered.

If you don't want to modify your fenders then I would recommend the Rota DPT in 17x9 +35 fitment. This model is ~2 lbs lighter than the P45R (DPT is only 19.1 lbs) and will fit without modifications. We have customers running very wide 255/40/17 tires on stock fenders

Here's how this setup looks

I would roll them anyways to avoid issues when adjusting your suspension in the future.
