There's no reason to keep the front and rear diameters close. I don't see any advantage to the taller 45 series tire in the front (and the potential disadvantage of clearance issues and the taller sidewall having more flex/less stiffness). I would vote for the 245/40.

I ran 275/40-17s and 245/45-16s (24.68" diameter) for years...
