Use the stockers with a 235/40/18 winter tire.

Buy a wider set of wheels for non-winter use.

Yeah, thinner is often better, but not when they're shorter. 225/45/18 is a better choice.

Good call. I definitely overlooked the tire's overall diameter.

My suggestion put it at ~0.40" shorter than the stock tire's diameter, while yours was closer at ~0.20" taller.

Our 18" wheels for the car would start right around $135 ea.

Stockers...

I run 235/45/18 Michelin Alpin Sports on them. MUCH taller than stock, and I love it that way.
