225/35/18 should work fine and be within spec. of your stock diameter. Bumping up to a 215/40/18 puts you just outside of spec.

I have 215/40/18's on mine they are 3.8% larger in diameter. They clear a 2 inch drop with no problems except My wheels are a 42Mm offset so mine touvch on the inside front on full lock turns not a big deal and they barely rub at that. The ride is significantly better than a 35 series tire. I noticed no real performance hit on my manual due the diameter increase (I just remember to factor in the 3.8% if I want to see MPG). I recommend the 215/40 highly.
