c5 wheels
so i just bought tires for my c5 and realized i got the wrong rear tire size. i bought 245 40 18 instead of 275 40 18 will this be a huge diff. i know it comes down to an inch more narrow in tire...

If you are running the stock front sizes, they have an overall diameter of 25.7". The 245/40-18 rears will also have an overall diameter of 25.7". So, you will have problems with the TC/AH by not having a stagger front to rear within acceptable amounts (.5" to 1" is the limits).
I would get the proper size tires for the car.
