I recently got new wheels and tires for my car and I think I may have chosen the wrong tire size.

Wheels are 18 x 8.5 and Tires are 245/40 R18

This wheel and tire combo increases the overall diameter by ~27mm (~1 inch)

In hindsight I feel like I should have gone with 245/35 R18 or 235/40 R18

Is this 1 inch increase in diameter too much?

What impact will this increase have?

Thanks in advance!
