There is an inch in height difference between those two sizes. The 35's are 24.7" and the 40's are 25.7". The 35's make load so I would stay a little conservative if you have dropped the car.

The 245/40/18 might rub on the fender lining, depending on the offset of your wheels. Personally I would stick with the 245/35/18 size to insure a good fit and no rubbing.
