245/50/20 fits 2011 SS? Trying to do square setup for winter

Hey guys, I’m trying to do square setup for winter. Will 245/50/20 all four tires work?

Daily driven a v6 for 10yrs and decided to get 2011 v8. It was easy to find tires for my v6 camaro but not the v8s. I also have Brembo brakes so I’m keeping 20” wheels.

Here's the difference from 245/50/20 and 245/45/20
Diameter
29.6"
28.7"
-3%

Width
9.6"
9.6"
0%

Sidewall
4.8"
4.3"
-10.4%

Circum.
93.1"
90.1"
-3%

Revs/Mile
681
704
+23

I wish I can find those size as well… so far I can’t find one available because they are mostly 245/50-20 or 275/55-20. Need to special order.

35 is too low a profile, driving comfort suffers on poor surfaces.
