I'm running 275/40's front and rear on my fox with no issues. The 245/45's should clear fine.

I ran 275/45/17 on the front and 315/35/17 on the rear of my 96 Gt and it had been lowered 1" all around. The only clearance issues were in a full lock turn you would have some rubbing in the fender well up front. Nothing damaged.
