I think you'd want a 35 profile to start with, 245/40 would better on a 17"

Default 245/40 is too big... 245/35R18 will be better

Default or even 235/40-18's...
...visually my S-03's in a 235/40 size are 240 across so they really take up a lot of space (on 18x8 ET35 rims).

Default I had a lowered car with 245-35-18 Toyo T1-S with BBS 18X8.5" CH wheels...
And I rolled my fenders.

Getting BBS CHs in 18"x8.5", if moderately lowered, can I run 235/40 tires with rolled fenders?
