You shouldn't need to. I run 255s on a 9" wheel with a 38mm offset, the car is slammed and I still have clearance.

question why did you go with a 245-35?? 245-40 is closer in diameter to stock tire size.

Not that its a huge deal, but I didnt want to have any issues with rubbing or having to roll my fenders. Thanks for the concern though.

245-35-18 2.3% difference, 245-4-18 1.5% difference so not to far off 60 mph on stock tires you will read 61.3 about on your tires now i know different tire brands can vary in diameters also.
