My track wheels have that size tire 245/45-17 in a hoosier R6 on 17x8.5 OEM S twists on all for corners... creates a really neutral feel. I may go bigger in the rear over the winter, but this combo seems really nice as I can rotate for wear. The smaller rears will lose you some traction in the rear... if I was going to go with those in the rear I would seriously think about them in the front too.
I don't know how good of a deal you are getting but look into Toyo T1Rs... great tire for the price.
