I had 235/40 S03s on the stock wheels which might as well be 245.

Default not a good idea
245/40-17 tires' measured rim width is 8-9.5". stock wheel width is 7.5. 235/40-17 tires' measured rim width is 8-9.5" too, but you can get away with it. re: 245, you can cram them on there, but it's not ideal and you're going to see diminishing returns in grip as the sidewall cups out over the wheel.
