tire question

well today I got a flat tire (front passenger). Long story short im pissed and need a new tire asap. Im currently running 215/40/18's im just curious if I were to run a 225/40/18 in place of the flat tire would it mess up anything? or should I be ok? I just wanna make sure before I go about getting a new tire.

First, its always good practice to replace both tires when one goes bad. It's also a bad idea to have three of your tires different from the fourth in size, especially since its a drive wheel. Just play it smart and put on the 215, dont mix and match tire sizes.

purchase two 225/40/18 and slap those on the rear. and the two rear 215/40/18 goes up front. that way your front won't look higher than the rear.
