We're talking within 1/2 inch, which means 1/4 inch on each side. From running 255-40-17 up front, I can tell you that diameter was not an issue. Of course, it all depends on offsets, etc.

You can read about my setup here:

actually a 255/35/18 has a diameter of 25" and the 245/40/18 has a diameter of 25.7" - according to the specs of the OEM Potenzas.

and 7/10 of an inch is a lot, not a little. it will cause errors in the DSC system if u dont run it on all 4 corners.

care to elaborate on why it would throw error codes? i though the ultimate question here is physically would it rub or not, i didnt think it would throw any codes. i still havent tried it cuz im still waiting for the wheels to come in, but it seems like no one has even tried 245/40/18's all around ever on the E92 or E90.
