That could be why it's hitting. The 235/55/16 tires are 0.53" taller (26.18 for the 235s vs 25.65 for the 245s). That extra height is pushing it closer to the gfx. Get the right size tires on them (245/50/16) and you prolly won't have an issue.

The 275/40/17 is the same height as the 245/50/16, but it's almost an inch and a half wider, so it's gonna be close to the gfz when you turn as well.
