It's not one of the common setups but you shouldn't have any problems with VDC/TCS. The F/R diam diff is 0.6" which should be perfect. The OD is a little smaller than OEM so it will throw off the speedometer/odometer only slightly.
Neither combination is optimal but I would go with the 225/245.
The stock tire sizes and Outside Diameters are:
225/50/17 25.9"
235/50/17 26.3" (0.4" stagger)
Your choices:
225/45 25"
245/45 25.7"
225/45 25"
235/45 25.3"
Because the 45 profile is shorter than the OEM 50 profile, all combinations are shorter than the OEM setup. That throws your speedo/odometer off a bit. I'm guessing you don't have TCS or VDC but if you did, the stagger is still there and within tolerance so you wouldn't have a problem there.

wow, thanks for your help, what is the "common" setup??
The normal/common setup would be 225/245 to match OEM size, the plus-size would be 235/275 on wider wheels. Your 235/255 is like a half-step up, giving you slightly wider tires.

would it be better do do the 235/45 or 245/45 setup in the back which one would be better?

245 would be "better" in the sense that it would be a slightly wider tire giving you slightly more traction.

There's no overriding reason to stick with the 50 profile tire other than the speedo/odometer accuracy. You won't be off by much though so I wouldn't sweat it.
