245mm on the front would be better. Maybe some 255's will fit.
Steering at parallel parking speeds might be a little heavier but it's worth it.

If you need a little more fender lip to tire clearance while at full lock you can roll the fender lips up a little with a wood base ball bat. There are posts on how to do that.
You use the bat like a prybar against the inner fender well while rotating the bat as you pull outwards on the handle of the bat while rolling it along the fender lip edge to bend it upwards.
The paint could crack while doing it and carefully heating the fender lip with a heat gun should soften the paint enough to keep it from cracking.
Put a few layers of heavy tape like duct tape or gaffer's tape on the fender lip to protect the paint while bending it up a little with the rotating baseball bat.

It's gonna leave scratch marks around the baseball bat. Walmart has nice low cost wood ones.
