So you what to go 245/40 all around on those 162 wheels?

Ok, so the fronts will be taller and wider than stock, and the rears will be not as wide and not as tall as stock. You are going to be running a square set up on a staggered wheel package. I do not recommend this as people have complained about serious issues with running wrong diameters on their BMW's.
I know running different widths will not hurt, but running different diameters will. Your choice in the end.

Wrong. 245/40 is taller than both the 225/40 and the 255/35.

Not your fault, the OP said his rear size was 255/40R18, so you were correct based on that (incorrect) info.
