From my calculations,your sitting out past your fender by 18 to 20 mm up front. Your going to have some poke. I think you need to roll your fenders,buy some front camber arms and I would suggest you stay 245 up front which will at least give you a very,very slight stretch which is better than ballooning your tire for your aggressive fit. The stock 9" rim with a +47 takes roughly 20mm to sit flush with fender. So that puts you at +27 at 9" so the offset differance is 27-12 for your new rim offset which = 15 mm past the fender. Than you need to add 6mm for the extra 1/2 in width of your new rim (quarter inch to each side of the centreline of the rim.
I think it aggressive up front.
zefaulter and RZ14 like this.

With your specs and offset compared to stock,the front extends 41mm farther than stock and the back extends 28mm farther than stock.
