Question about tires size for front C2
I have a 1999 C2 and I got a set of BBS 2 piece Sport wheels(factory 18" option). Wondering if a 245 35 18 tires will fit the front. I have 285/3018 in rear and they just fit. Not sure if a wider front will rub? Anyone know?

Factory front for this wheel is 225/40/18

My understanding with a stock offset is that 235 will clear and 245 will rub.
