Different Size Tires

Rear tyre diameter is ~30 mm smaller with your new rear tyres and my guess is the stability control is confused, and thinks the rear wheels are breaking into wheelspin

OEM rear is 245/45R18 and diameter is ~678mm, your new 245/40R18 diameter is ~654mm. You need to do one of 2 things, and that is fit the proper rear tyre size, OR get smaller front tyres fitted to match the rears (235/40R18 will go close). Be best all round to fit 245/45R18. The answer to your question is therefore "YES".
