The slight difference in circumference between front and rear tires would/might trigger the DSC under certain driving conditions where it normally wouldn't have.

The good thing is: you probably won't get DSC when you turn and accelerate hard. That's when I get it a lot.
If you ever want to rotate those 3% smaller fronts to rear.... well just don't do it or you'll know why.

DR.TuB,
225/40r18 are 25.1 inches in diameter approx 830 rpm per mile
225/45r18 are 25.9 inches in diameter approx 804 rpm per mile
So the 40's roll 3% faster or more than the 45's for the same speed.
