245/45 = 98 mm sidewall
265/35 = 92.75 mm sidewall

All you have to do is multiply 245 x 0.45 (tire width:sidewall ratio).

No. It will be something like 1cm taller. Not really noticeable if you ask me.

Just checked, 245/40 vs 265/35 It's only about 5mm (0.21") difference. A little more than 3/16"

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Your hood strut installation was motivation to just buy them. Been thinking about them for quite a while now.

I can't tell what I'm looking at. Looks like a bolt welded to the lug?

Why didn't you just go buy a splined socket?

To get back on topic, my tires are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The fenders are going to get rolled this weekend. Might have some pics up as early as next week.

I might not need to roll the fronts since I'm going with a narrower tire and have a little more offset with the new wheels. Your thoughts?

Front fenders on SN95s already come with a rolled lip. You can roll it more aggressively but unless your tire is centimeters away from the lip, it won't be necessary.

I noticed that they are much more rolled than the flat-ledge lip out back. I think I may be OK without doing the fronts and it will save me some $$

...Already thinking about going lower than I currently am...

Do you have any other pics of your car anywhere? A build thread I've missed? I think the only pics I've seen are either in here or your avatar.

No, man I really don't. I don't have a build thread either since mine's really nothing compared to many of the others here. It really hasn't changed much over the years
I used to have FRPP flares & a Steeda wing on it & some different headlights. Very basic stuff.

I could hunt around and see if I can find anything worthwhile.

This is what it looked like before I swapped headlights a couple months ago (pic from last year):
