Default 225/45R18 vs. 225/40R18 : That big of a deal?

Looking at new summer tires. If the make/model of the tire was only available in a 45 series as opposed to the 40 series that is on there presently, is that going to create any unforeseen issues?

I understand the ramifications with regards to size and speedometer issues, but wonder if anyone presently has this setup and can offer feedback.

TIA.

I have 225/45/18 on my front. No big deal. Very AllRoad-ish.

Default Uh, maybe...

Are you insinuating that I've been somewhat less than "active" on the board?
