Default Tires... 245.40.18 / 265.35.18

I need to send off my rims to get fixed... all bent up.. and I have access to a set of Merc Wheels... they bolt up... except the Rear Tires are 265/35/18 and Front are 245/40/18. Will that mess up my diff/ecu.
The 265/35/18 hits the arm of the rear suspension but I think with a spacer it would fit fine. any thoughts...

Default 1.8% difference (80.8" vs 79.5" circumference)

that aside, those widths are pretty extreme for a stock-bodied car. Also, it'll increase understeer.
