I'm getting 285/40/17 for my 17x10. I don't know what to put on the front.. I was thinking 245/40/17?

If you run a 40 series with the different widths, the rears will be taller than the fronts. To be closer, you would need to go with a 245/45/17 on the front and 285/40/17 on the rear, but even then, the rear will be tiny bit taller.

Will that hurt anything?

Won't hurt anything, just might look a little odd if it's noticeable.
