Any Kizashis w/ Off-Spec Tire Sizes?

So ever since the Nokian WRG3 thread from a few years back, I've been eager to try a set. Fast forward to today, and it's that time to put some new shoes on Azumi again. I'm still considering the Nokian WRG3's, and they've come down in price quite a bit in the last few years. Gonna hit up the Discount Tire and get them to price match'em.

Anyways, the WRG3's don't come in the stock 235/45R18 size used by most of our Kizashi's. I'm gonna opt for the 245/45R18 size. According to tiresize.com, they should only be .3 inches wider and .2 inches taller. They should still have plenty of clearance, and the only throw off the speedometer by 1 mph at 70 mph

Anyone else out there running tires on their Kizashi that aren't the stock 235/45/R18's, how do they look on your Kizashi? Did anyone out there go with bigger tires and run into clearance issues?

I've got 245/45-18 Falken Ziex ZE912 on mine, work great and actually threw the speedometer on instead of off. Speedo/Odo are both closer to exactly right than they were with the factory tires. I've got about 20K miles on them and have had no clearance issues, stock ride height, 2010 GTS.
