Heya,
I have 18s and I'm considering 225/40 or 235/40. I am leaning towards the 235 because it has a higher load rating for the particular tire im looking at but 225 is the recommended size. This number refers to the tire width, 225mm is roughly 8.8 inches. The second number (40 or 45) is the side wall height and the 40 indicates that the sidewall is about 40% of the width of the tire. Say for example you had a tire the size of 225/40, the tire would be 225mm wide (8.8 inches) and the tire wall size would be 40% of the 225 (3.5 inches).
Hope that helps!
