Tire experts I like to replace my stock Bridgestone 225/40/R18 front and 255/35/R18 rear.
Diameter of the front and rear is 25 inches, with the front's thread width 7.6" and rear 8.5''
I like to use Pirelli P7 Plus 235/45/R18 94V with larger dia of 26.5 but smaller 8.5 thread width all around.
Apart from the speedo error, what other problems will I be facing ?
I really would like know if this large size tire will clear the under fender without touching ?
Upon visual examination there seems to be 5-6'' space between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender.
I am aware that the car will be 3/4 higher off the ground.
If anyone has done this type of replacement pls help me out.

I wouldn't go anything other than stock OR 235/40/18 & 265/35/18. That would increase your sidewall height, but error would be marginal.
What are you trying to accomplish with that profile?
