HPDE Tires

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on running Hankook RS4 on my track set of wheels which are 17x8 +35 I think, I am also running a 10mm spacer all around so I don't rub. Does anyone else run a similar setup? Mainly want to know if a 245/40r17 RS4 would fit on these wheels, I can't find anything solid telling me if they run wide or not.

I'm running Hankook RS4 in 225/45 zr17 on 17x8 Konig Hypergram (ET+45). I needed 15mm spacers in the front and 5mm in the rear. Even with 15mm spacers I was up against the spring perch up front so I had to raise the suspension to clear it. I have about 7mm of space up front. The rear tires are about 10mm the rear training arm. With 2.5 degrees front and 1.5 degrees rear camber, I am just barely rubbing the outside fender liners with a 225. A 245 may require rolling or cutting the metal fender and adding wider flares. I'll know for sure how much it rubs and where the issues are after this weekend. For me, 15mm rears are probably necessary.

Stumbled upon this and realized I never updated it...
245 RS4 will fit stock body, no trimming of the metal fenders. I raised my car a bit and it clears with a 10mm spacer up front and 5mm rear
