Default diameter

I have a 2005 V6 the stock wheel and tire on there now are 215/65/16

i want new wheels and tires but want to keep overall diameter the same. Would 18x9 wheels and 255/45/18 tires and wheels all the way around change it?

You already know the following:

215/65/16 = 27" diameter
255/45/18 = 27" diameter

So.... you will have zero speedometer accuracy issues and be just fine

Even if you were to have accuracy issues, they could be easily dealt with via hand-held tuner.

Get 'em on and git us some pics!
