I'm going to get new tires wanna get 235/45-18 front and 275/40-18 rear on '14 Mustang GT. Given that the stock tires are 235/50-18 would the change in tire height be enough to affect my odometer reading and/or computer?

Looks like a 2.2% difference in height. Which is good I read someplace after my initial post that as long as you're not over a 3% difference you should be good. That link to the calculator is awesome! Thanks for the reply!

With new tire size, the odometer off reading should be minimal but you will feel good difference in handling. Which tires are you getting?
