235x40x18 is a better fit for an 8" rim

225/40/18 is the best size if wheel diameter/gearing is to be maintained

The difference between the 225 and 235 tyre is 1 mph at 60mph the 235 is better on a new age the sidewall is slightly bigger which helps with the ride quality.

The difference in sidewall is only 4mm would that really make much difference
