Doesn't your car have the RS or SC/Carrera flares in the rear? Most of the RS-clones used to run 275s on 9" Fuchs in the rear, with a few mods for clearance (negative camber, spring plate bolts shaved, oil lines rerouted, fender lips rolled). A 245 on an 8" rim should be a relatively easy fit under RS/SC/Carrera flares. 225s in the front on a 7" rim should be OK too--I used to run 245s in the front of my RS-clone on 8" 944T 23mm-offset Fuchs wheels with the stock fenders, but I did have to roll the fender lips.
YMMV,

Tom you are forgetting details in your advancing age...
265-16's on 9's in the rear (275's are only 17's) with max negative camber, big torsion/sway bars rolled fenders, and oil line modification. Your results may vary...
245's on 8's in the back is cake, using 7x16ET23's from a 944 turbo with 225's is the sweet (easiest) setup for the front.
I have a set of these with 225 V-Racers if you would like to check them out.
911's can vary greatly from on year to another. 8/9x16 fit perfectly on my SC and one of my customers SC's is the same and they don't fit at all...
Let me know if you want to look at them.
