Problem with 215/40/18 is availability. Check the online tyre suppliers and you are very limited to what you can find. In the UK it appears that Falken and Continental are the only two brands readily available.

That's disapointing as it would surely be a shame to have use a smaller than standard wheel/tyre combination, thereby increasing the already horrid tyre to guard gap.
By the way Contintal make some superb tyres & Falken while maybe not as good in quality, represent great value.
So i still don't see an issue with using a 215/40/18 tyre.
