I know jshadeck already responded but I'll qualify a few things:
- Camber will make a difference to the clearance. Jshadeck is running stock camber (i.e. 0).
- I am running 18x9 +35 wheels and had 12mm clearance to the strut perch before camber, after camber bolts, Eibach ProKit and alignment to -2.2, my clearance was down to 7-8mm. I would not want to go under 5mm clearance. Your wheels are 7mm closer to the strut than mine are and I had 7-8mm, so you do the math.
- If you are running H&R's, you already have some negative camber, and should have had an alignment so you should know what camber you're at already.
- Re; tires. I would suggest running a 35 profile not a 40 as it will be too tall on a 245 wide. Even a 255/35 has a smaller diameter than a 245/40R18. I'm running 245/35R18 on mine and gearing is under 1km/hr at 130k. (or .5mph at 60mph) so virtually the same as stock.
