Default Newb tire question

Hey, I'm sorry if there's another post about this but I have the stock front 225 45 18 and rear 245/45-18 and I want to make my rear 275/40-18.

How will this affect my traction, speed, handling, gas mileage, etc?

I'm a noob to cars I know but thanks in advance

All you need is a wheel wide enough to run that tire. 9 inch minimum, 9.5 inch or wider is better.

Yup, sizes fine. Just need wheels wide enough to accommodate the new tire sizes.
