That would be way too big... usually a + or - 2% difference is acceptable, but that size would put you 10% bigger than stock (225/45/18), increasing the diameter by 2.6in. That would throw off your speedo, give you much longer gear ratios and may or may not catch in the wheel arch, especially when snow accumulates there. Might as well sell them and get the right size, which shouldn't be a problem considering 225/45/18 is a fairly common size.

Hmmm, not sure why disconnecting the battery would do that... It's normal to get your trip millage reset, but it shouldn't affect your overall millage.
