I believe they are +40, so shouldn't be any issues but how are you running that high of an offset on the coupe?

Nonetheless, if they are OEM wheels they are going to be a high offset so running the 245 won't reallly affect anything.
The drop from the springs might tuck the wheels under the fender but I don't think it would cause any rubbing with that offset. However, take the wheels off and look at the size and offset to make sure there's no spacers.

I combined your two answers kchar92 ^ I doubt you have a +40 offset since you wouldn't be able to make sharp turns without the wheels touching the inside suspension! I ran 245s on all four corners with OE rims without issue for a few K miles, no problem...Gary

Depends on the width of the wheels, 245 is only the tire width and doesn't have much to do with the offsets. You may need some fender work done with those springs and maybe wheel spacers to avoid the sunk look.

I can't say for sure but I thought the FX wheels were 8.5 width.
if not, that's why I said take them off just to check all the numbers for total comfortability before throwing any suspension parts on yet.

Wheel offsets actually play a big role in any suspension upgrade or change. Directly effecting camber too. Knowing that they are OEM wheels they will automatically have higher offsets thus requiring spacers with the drop.
