245/35-19 too tall

To calculate overall diameter of a tire you do the following:

[(section width mm)(aspect ratio as decimal)(2)/25.4 to convert mm to inches)] + wheel diameter in inches

In AARotary's example the calculation is:

[(245)(0.35)(2)/25.4] + 19 = 25.75 inches overall tire diameter.

This is 1 inch taller than stock and guaranteed to rub with a 45 mm offset wheel in the front wheel positions.

Although I understand AARotary's car is strictly a show car. If it's trailered, perhaps it will be ok?...
