its a 7" rim, and no, a 245/35 will not fit, that size needs an 8.5"

i am more worried about fender or strut rub more than wheel size as we currently run a 225/50/14 on a tiburon with a 5.5" or 6" (can't remember exact size) just have to give the tire shop guy a few extra bucks to put it on as it does take more effort since the sidewalls on kumho race tires are stiff as it is

no, that size needs an 8, i have 16x8's on my camaro, and i have 245's (255's are max fit) on it. On an 8.5, you can fit up to a 265 i believe.
