Any particular reason why you want to run 245/45 in the rear? It's not going to help much with clearance when paired with a 9 +33.

Ever considered the 255/40s? Or is that a stretch of luck? I've got a similar situation as you but 17x9.5+35 and want to fit 255s if possible..

I wanna try to get the meatiest tire setup that I can in the rear.
235/40 is what I'm running now on an 8 in. wide wheel and it fits perfect, on the rear I have a 9 in. wheel with the same tire size but there is a small stretch.
I figured 245 would be a better fit for the rear.

255 in the rear will give you the same look as a 235 in front, basically vertical sidewall. 245 in the rear works too, will have just a tiny stretch. you want to stick with a 40 profile tire with both those sizes.
