Lexus comes with 245 45 18. If I fitted 245 40 18 would there be any serious issues? It calculates it as a -3.55%..

Change all four at the same time so the ABS/TCS doesn't get confused and it'll be fine (assuming you can live with the speedo overreading even more than it does already, reduced MPG, reduced ride comfort etc etc.

My guess is that it really wouldn't help the ride very much. You'll also lose a bit of ground clearance. Speedo will over-read, which is fine.

It's on a Lexus so it doesn't bother me and overreading is fine.
