Default Tire size precautions?

Hey CL, Happy Holidays! I have a real quick question, I just got hooked up some TSW Montage staggered -18 x 8.5 fronts and rears 18 x 9.5. The fronts have 245/45/18 and the rears have 275/40/18(BIG *** TIRE!!) so my question that I have is will be ok riding on those tire for awhile? After Christmas i'll get the right size of 245/35/18 fronts and 265/35/18 in the rear. Any suggestions would help. Thanks for your time!!!

Thanks for the comments fellas, I am very new to the VIP Game and just wanted to touch base with some people who have already done it. Very different from having an Integra. The GS400 is not lowered yet but i'm working on that. Thanks again!!!
