Good choice! I went with 215/35, too. 225 would look a little TOO wide to me.

My wife is currently running 215/35/18 on a 7.5" wheel. I think we are going to switch to a 225/35/18 Nitto 555 when it comes time to replace the current tires.

Well, 215-35-18 is the tire size that will keep the original diameter of the OEM wheels, ensuring speedometer and odometer readings are correct. However, a 40 series won't be that much off.

Same here, 215/35 on a 18x 7.5 look just a little too skinny, 225 will be replaceing these when the tread is gone.

very true...with a 35 series its off by .5 miles per hour and with 40 series its off by 2.7 so no real big deal.
i just wanted a little bit more sidewall protection
