Let me do some measuring and see what I can come up with for you. IMO, the 45 series tires a just a tad to tall for my liking but to each their own. It looks like they are .4" taller on the sidewall and radius (245/45), .5" taller on the sidewall and radius (255/45) and .6" taller on the sidewall and radius (295/45) when compared to a 245/40, 255/40 and a 295/40.
