Are you looking for tread width or contact patch? OEM S02's are equivalent width's to 245's. So the Hankook width would be 225/245 = 92% of OEM. Contact patch is identical (given the same pressure) and it looks like they both put a lot of rubber on the road, so it's a toss up IMO.

Hope I helped you :thumup:

contact patch always changes depending on your air pressure.

245's will not rub unless your tuckin tire. My friend is running a 245, 16x8 +45 Spoon and is not rubbing. You should be okay with a 1, 1.5 finger gap in the fender well. Unleeeessss, you want to be safe and run a stretched 235. That can clear some fender, but a 245 would be best.
