Yes it can, your speed will be thrown off about 2% slower though, not much to make a big difference.

You'll throw off the stagger if you use those in the back. They are 1" lower than the 245/45s, therefore you will have 1/2" more space between the top of the tire and the fender well. If you have VDC, it wont like it. 245/40s are fine in front, because they are very similar to the stock 225/45s in overall diameter. Using the 245/40s in front and 245/45s or 255/45s in the rear will also lessen the oversteer.
