Running 245 40 18 instead of 255 40 18 on 2IS RWD rear
Has anyone tried it and can anyone tell the difference? I'll keep my front at 225 but there is one tire I want to use that doesn't come in 255 (Kumho LX Platinum). The trend width different is so small, I personally don't think it will be a big problem. The car isn't that heavy and on a 2.5L 245 should be plenty of traction and load capacity. Any other concerns?

It'll upset the handling balance a little, but, if you aren't an aggressive driver, probably wouldn't be hugely noticeable...
The other thing is that it will be a slightly shorter rolling diameter, and can potentially cause weird ABS/traction problems, as well as the speedometer be off a little... The measurements are about 1.25% different than stock - not really something I'd worry about, but just my disclaimer...
