in the Vehicle Stock Tire Size - enter the stock altima size which is 205/65/16.

Then in the Compare Tire Sizes - enter the tire sizes u want to get or what is available from the suppliers. If you want to use two different sizes enter them here and then compare and see if it wont be over the +-3% threshold.

^^ YES exactly. Any more than 3 can do more damage to your car in the long term.

Note: You can change to 40 but you wont be able to do that with 225 and 245 which is the issue. Atleast thats what i believe. Guys please correct me if i am wrong.

Why would you put staggered set on a FWD? Trust me when I say it doesn't look good! It looks stupid! And that is from a guy who has Nissan wheels on a Toyota.

the present rims and tires are a perfect fit on my car.
no issues nuthin.
i was hopin to reduce the height of the tire from 45 to 40.
but dsnt look like its advisable.

Most deep dish wheels are staggered half the ppl in the uae using them are on FWD, though every1 understands the whole point of staggered is for RWD but using it on a FWD will just give you torque steer at the lower gears on start if you push it.

Most ppl sacrifice it for looks based on the alloy they are choosing, and here i have to respectfully disagree with you as i think staggard setup looks amazing on most cars.
