You can fit 225/40/18 all around.

+1, just fit square tires all around. I have a set of 194Ms for winter which are also staggered - I went with 225/45 all around, with a little bit of stretch on the rears.

Yes, you can use 225/40R18 on both the front 8" wheels and the rear 8.5" OE wheels with no problem. This is actually very common to do. Eliminating the stagger in this way works very well for winter and results in better winter traction.
