Winter tire setup question

Just recently purchased a f25 X3 3.5i with 19" wheels on them now. I'm looking into a winter set but had questions about the fitting.

The 18x8 wheels that I'm looking into have an offset of 35mm. The tires are 245/45. I believe oem is 245/50r18. I ran the numbers into wheel offset calculators. It says that the new wheels 32mm more clearance on the strut, and outside edge of wheel will retract 6mm. The difference in diameter is about 1" or about 3% speedo difference.

What kinds of issues might I experience with this setup? Is 3% that big of a difference to throw off xdrive/cpu/etc?
