245 is way undersized for a 10" wheel. The "stretch" may make the front work. Why would you want to put spacers on?

Ask the stretch tire boys here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-welcome.html

Rear tires are shorter than the front tires, back to the drawing board.

I could post my recomendations, but i'll let you do a little ground work.

Hint , rears need to be a little taller than the fronts 1/4 to 3/4 inch works great

The front size you have would be fine, but you need to have 265/40s in the back.

This site is a good resource:

A 245 mm tire will be pretty cool on a 10 inch wheel.

I hope you can tell that david is being sarcastic.

If you want the 35 series in the back then you should run a 35 up front. If I were running that wheel setup I would likely run a 255-265/35 up front and 275-285/35 rear. The brand makes a difference as well since they all run a little different.
