Assuming all that is correct, sure. I believe you might need arches rolling for 245 though, unless someone can correct?

Find out the offset before you buy anything, but yes it should be possible

215/100*40=86mm
245/100*35=85.75mm

Keeps the rolling radius of both tyres pretty much equal and minimises speedo change.

Stock tyres are staggered the same. I have 205/50/16 and 225/45/16 to achieve a similar result.

That's tyre size, but what about the specs of the wheels you're fitting :idea:

on 9.5J rears the offset is going to be crucial.
