One thing to keep in mind,
different manufacturers may have wider/narrower
section width /contact patch. So you can't just
think that 245 from Bridgestone will have the
same actual width as 245 from Kumho or Good
Year.
Wheels Offset Calculator (OEM Vs.
Your Setup)

offset is within "reasonable" correct for your car. Too much
different on OEM offset Vs. after market wheels
offset will cause wheel bearing problem in the
long run. Exception applies to those who change
to smaller offset to obtain wider tracking for
their race/track cars. Check the offset here:
