The problem is with rubbing the strut spring perch. Anything more than 13 to 15 mm on an 7.5inch rim will usally start to rub. In his case he is talking about 9 inch rim with 20mm offset.

I could be wrong but on my 745 with 13mm offset and 7.5 wide 16'rim on 245 55 Kohumo tires I like about 3/8" from rubbing.

It might be best just to try them and see if they rub. Then we will know forsure.

at the rear (9" rims) I got 15 mm offset....I'm just so occupied w/my self leveling problems.... sorry, you're right.
Best regards, Afshin.

PS, 245/55's you riding on, are they on 16" rims? if so, I think they are too big (diameter) the nearest diameter would be 245/45...
