Don’t do it, (but I think you’re going to anyway).

Talk to an expert, p.m. paul at PK design who is here on many of the wheel threads.
As long as the OP goes up the matching ratio on the sidewall the wheel gap will not change.

OEM

Front - 245/40-20 = 27.72
Rear - 275/35-20 = 27.58

on 18" wheel

Front - 245/50-18 =27.65
Rear - 275/45-18 =27.74

On the OEM setup the fronts are slightly larger than the rear. If the OP only goes up in aspect ratio on the tire sizes the rear will be ever slightly larger than the fronts, the car will be fine though as it will be with in the system tolerance.

Generally for every inch / " of wheel size you go up or down you must either drop or raise the aspect ration 5 (40 to 45 as an example) to stay close to the original rolling circumference size.
