AP1 square alignment
On my '06 I'm running 235/45-17(up front) on stock wheels which is 0.6" taller than your 245/40-17 tires with 1.25 neg. camber and mine don't rub. I think I could go 245/40-17 no problem if I could find a wheel I liked but since this size works for me I stayed with this size tire now for over 100k miles.

Tomorrow, when I get my alignment, I’ll need to see what it’s currently at, and I probably won’t adjust camber, just caster and toe depending.
If your rubbing out back its because of your wheels if you have an AP2. My rear tires are 1" taller than yours and I don't rub at all. We load our S with a full trunk when we travel(last trip was 8300 miles in 30 days) and my wife and I weigh 380 lbs and we still don't rub front or back. That is why I still have stock wheels, just can't find one that will work and I one that looks good to me.

Max out your camber assuming oem suspension. No half measures if grip is what your after. I don’t understand the logic of going square with cheap ass tires (maybe not your case) and -1 camber. Sure square you can rotate your tires but imo 255s all around is not going to leviate snap oversteer(which is always driver induced) but make the speed you are going when it occurs higher

Off topic... but remember what I said about Honda engineers... I take it back.. trying to remove the starter... and I physically can’t.. what a joke!!! It’s unbolted, disconnected just cant “finesse” it out because I live in a physical world where solid objects can’t pass through other solid objects.. dang.. I strongly discourage anybody from doing their own starter replacement
Got the starter out and replaced. Never knew where the knock sensor was. But thankfully didn’t damage it.
I have not gotten an alignment yet, but with the new tires, the tram-lining effect is nearly completely gone. I look forward to see what my current alignment is as my previous tires had significant wear on the inside
