Considering 215/40/17 front and 245/45/17 on the back. It's not lowered so I think it should fit but not sure how it will feel.

245/40/17 would be oversize anyway... why do you want to put the rear on stilts?

You mean 245/45 is too big right?

It was the good tyres coming on the alloys I was looking at - wouldn't buy new tyres at 245/45 but if they fit I'd rather have avoided the expense of replacing them.

Doesn't matter anyway found some others :)

I run 245/40/17 on stock suspension - feels fine. Comfier than 255/35 anyway.
