I'm on 275 fronts with 20mm spacers and my fenders and doors are fairly clean, no issues here, but then I don't drag my car thru the muds either just daily driving on paved roads.

Your rear is 285 so it's fine but going with 245& 315 fronts will be taller than rears, big difference.

yea 40mm isn't bad considering stock is 30mm. 245/305 is a 60mm width difference not including the overall diameter difference depending on the exact sizes you go with.

No issue and the stance is spot on. Oh yeah, I'm dropped on coils overs. If you lower you car on springs like swifts, you will love the stance even more. You will just need to invest in camber arms and tow bolts.

You will not rub and you should definitely lower your car when getting aftermarket wheels.

Sitting at stock settings with 265-305 setup will definitely make your wheels stick out to the side. (Make your car look like a jeep)

Some negative camber will help resolve that issue but you will need to lower and invest in a camber kit (at least the rear) to have you car looking and sitting proper.

Edit: Just saw this in the classifieds lol Stance true style coilovers with SPL toe arms

You will be fine. Most of the guys in here are running that setup, so we wouldn't tell you it worked if it didn't...

19x9.5 +22 265/35 front and 19x10.5 +12 305/30 rear fit perfectly. I'm lowered on Amuse Bilsteins and have OEM alignment settings and no problems at all.
