Upgrade to Bigger Tire Size

I just got a 2014 GS 350 rwd, currently I have OEM Dunlops 235x45x18 w/ 19k miles and want to replace them with either Pirellis P7 Plus or Michelin Premier A/S. I see Michelins have 245s and not 235s. Can I go one size wider to 245x45x18s? Will I throw car specs off? thanks.

245/40/18 would be the next larger size. Check diameters to see how much difference in height between tires.
