I put 275x40 on the front and 315x35 on the back on mine. Works and looks good. 245x45 might look bad on the fronts, and might not fit the 9" wheel very well.

I would go up to 255`s for the front at the most although 245`s look ok. It`s better to have a smaller tire up front. That way the 315`s will look huge.

i just got my bfg's yesterday. 295 x 18 and 245 x 18. i got the kdws t/a and i luv em. a litte pricey, but in ur case it would be cheaper. if im not mistaken the goodyears are more expensive than the bfg's and with roughly the same handling
