There are no tires in a 265 16". Also the 245/45R16 is not going to fit on a 16X6.5 front AP1 wheel.

You should say no matching sets in those sizes.

V710's come in 265/45/16, but no 245.

And I've seen a 245/45/16 on the front wheel. Some of the track and autocross guys do it (running 245/245). Although, with a stock suspension, that much front tire will turn your car into an oversteering nightmare, since you can't really go wide enough on the back to make up the stagger.

The NTB I got my last set of tires mounted put one of the 245's on a front wheel. It's a little pinched, but you could drive on it no problem. Taking it off so they could put it on the correct wheel was not easy though. Took him like 10 minutes.

They should have listened to me when I told the guy he was mounting the wrong tire!

I'm going to go not at all far out on a limb here and say there is no 245/45/16 tire in the world that is approved by the manufacturer for a 6.5" wide wheel.
