I know you want a look that pops, but a 245/35R18 is almost undriveable here in the Northeast. Between the Spring/Summer pothole season, and the sewer grates which come 3 feet into the left driving lanes of all the highways, those rims would be toast in a month. I can't imagine it's that different in the Denver area.
I'm running the same 205/60R16 on my OEM rims. I want to upsize but don't want to lose rubber height between rim & road. I may just sacrifice a bit of speedo accuracy and try a set of 215/60R16.
My WAG is you'll get a bit of rub at the back where the fender flair is a bit tight. The front has a bit more room, but a 205 to 245 is a 4cm increase. Thats 2cm (or about 3/4 inch) more rubber on the inside trying to clear the strut spring & wheel well skirt. My memory says it's too tight. Try and run your hand in there, have someone move the wheel end to end, then imagine you're making a sharp turn with the whole body leaning over. You are now in the world of suspension geometry engineering, and they do lots by trial & error. Although you may have a future in NASCAR
