Totally depends on the offset of the new wheels.

i have that exact setup with a 35 offset and there is barely enough clearance between the tires and control arms. like they don't ever touch and i never have rubbing issues but i can't even get my pinky in there. i saw a picture of someone who was running 245's and i have no idea how he made them fit
