Depends on the car. The difference between the 2 tires would be that the 255 is wider than the 245 and also a little taller. The 45 is the space from rim to tread compared to the width of tread (45%). The rim size, 17, is no problem. You may have some rubbing if you don't have the space in your fenderwells. Look up optional tire sizes for your car or test the tire on one of the front. Don't test on back, you need to be able to turn all the way to see if it rubs.
That small of a change probably would work but better check first.

Yes it's just a bit wider. If a 245/45/17r is what is recommended for that particular wheel though, you shouldn't change to the other.

If you are replacing the tire, then it will at the very least fit on the wheel/rim.
The other thing to consider is the clearance you currently have around the tire and rim you currently have installed on the vehicle.
You could provide us with more information, you could ask your local car repair shop (Midas, Meineke, Sears Auto, NTB, Pep Boys, etc), or you could just have them put on and check the clearance yourself.
Good luck.

You should be able to... the 225 refers to the width of the tire.
"The 225 indicates this tire is 225 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel. This measurement is also referred to as the tire's section width. Because many people think of measurements in inches, the 225mm can be converted to inches by dividing the section width in millimeters by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch)."

unless you plan to get all 4 tires that way than its impossible without doing damage. if one tire is bigger then the others then you have a bad balance.

Why do you want to mount a tire on another tire?
