tire sizes

I'm looking at installing 18" rims on my 09 R56 and was wondering if anyone is running a 225x40x18 tire? A little extra height might be helpful on rough roads. If so, any recommendations on brand? Thanks

OEM 18 size is 205/40/18 and I have heard of alot of people running 215/35/18. Maybe at stock height you can pull it off. If you are lowered at all however probably not. Here are the differences:
