Factory OEM sizes on my 2002 M3 Coupe are 225/45-18 Front and 255/40-18 Rear.

Anyone running those size tires... Will it set off the ABS due to the shorter diameter?

It wont set off the ABS, but you may have issues under hard braking... I would go with the recommend OE sizes or wider. What are the current wheel specs you are on? Is there a reason why you are looking to go with the sizes above?

You'll be experiencing massive under steering during cornering because of the large stagger.
