Winter tires style 369

Het guys I'm actually shopping for some winter tires and I want to know if I can put the same specs of tires then my summer setup ?
I want to keep my style 369 for winter and go on 20" next summer ...
Is that ok to put 275/40r19 and 245/45r19 of hakkapelita8 or it will be too large for winter ???

I would avoid 275, but 245/45-19 Hakkapeliitta 8 should be OK even in heavy snowfall.

Generally narrower tires to better in the snow than wider.

In deep snow and slush, you risk floating on the snow/slush with wide tires.

The rallyboys use 250 on asphalt, 225 on gravel and 200 on snow/ice. Winterdriving they also have 500 studs in each tire - 1/4" protruding above tiresurface.
