Well I have 255 M/T Street Slicks on these ones, not 100% sure if they're 45 or 50, but I'm pretty sure 50. I don't see why a 45 wouldn't work. From my understanding that's just the sidewall hight, so they'd be smaller tires but same width. Can't do more than 255 w/o wider rims and more back spacing though. I ground down my bump-stock spot just a bit to be safe incase of any odd axle side-to-side action (can't imagine any, but never know).

I auto-x on 265/45R16 Kumhos. Not pretty, but they work (and there isn't a 245 or 255). I've seen 275 Hoosierson 16x8's, but it's REALLY not pretty. I'd keep it to 245's and 255's. As far as sidewall, a 245/45 is shorter, and you can tell just with the naked eye. Anything below 45 will be obviously shorter.
I'd suggest 245/50 or 255/45 as the ideal sizes.
