Good luck, you're going to have to roll the fenders ($500+ if there's any paint damage), install ride height adjustable coil-overs ($2000), and get very specifically sized rims, like Volk CE-28N's ($1600). So, expect to drop like $4000. Whereas you could get some 235's on Rotas for $1000, and not have to roll the fenders. Is that 1cm of width really worth $3000 and possibly having to paint the fenders?

Here's a pretty good discussion about running 245's and all the work required to get them to fit:

But it can be done, with minor rubbing:
