probably too big - correct profile for 18" wheels is 235/35

I think most people in that situation, including myself (them size wheels and lowered) go with 225/35/18.

Something about the speedo being correct aswell IIRC. and I think it will rub with the bigger profile tyre. I had slight rubbing with 35 profile and got the arches rolled, the 40 profile will make all the difference and will be a nightmare.
