if you have stock wheels, the widest tire that fits is a 235. the height of the tire will be fine with the s tech springs.

says who? Many people are running 245 with no problems - hell, some are running 255's on stock rims.

Depends on the wheels your running (size & offset). Since your already lowered there's a greater chance that you'll see rubbing even on stock wheels. I'm not saying it'll rub though.

Also depends on your car. Since its an 2004 you have to becareful as the 2005's+ all have wider rear fenders and can fit tires up to 255 without any rubbing whatsoever.
