Same car, same wheel but I'm running 235's, no rubbing atall.
Was your car set up correctly after the coilovers were fitted? At tad more camber would prob help or rasie the ride height.

9.5" are soon to be fitted, have chosen 245's, arches rolled, camber bolts fitted, its all about the ride height and camber to avoid rubbing.

Hi there

About the arch rolling speak to Arch enemy,I'm pretty sure someone in your area must cover yours area

Here is link on them:

http://www.archenemy.co.uk/

Camber bolts would go with Eibach or WhiteLine,both cost around £25

We are run on our wagon 245/40 R18 with 9.5JX18 ET38 without the problems

Eibach was what I have, as mentioned by Jura, readily avaiable from motor part stores/web.
