I have 18's with the same size and make tyres.To be honest i think,on my particular rims,i may go for 235/40/18 next time though.

The Yoko's are excellent in the dry,not bad in the wet but can be a little scary on greasy or damp roads. Depends how you tend to drive - have heard they don't always last long either but again that would depend on driving style.

235s may catch rear arches.
