My tyres are 40's but not many options available in that size, hence why I moving up to 45's just for the snow and all round bad weather we get in Aberdeenshire, not much of a difference in size so not going to give me any issues really..

that's a difference in radius of about 11mm (ie 11mm closer to your wheel arch) which may or may not be a problem.
Personally for maximum cost effectiveness I have just got a bargain set of 16" wheels (having had 17" winter tyres previously) and got a set of these. I've had nokians for 4 winters now and they are outstanding. Also available in 17" size.
