Even with the G009 being Bridgestone Potenza's (and they are a all season / high performance tire) it would have been better to use a width of 245/45 at the rear.
Why?
Because the OEM Potenza S-02 (that is the tire the car came with) has a much wider thread then any other 225/xx size tire (even Bridgestone's)
It is closer to 245.
So now you are using a rear tire that is narrower then "it should be" and that could change the handling at the limit.
Just saying this so you are aware of it.
