I'm sure Gary meant 225/40F, and 255/35R for 18's.

I had both sets (225/40F, 255/35R Michelin Super Sports and 235/40F, 265/35R Hankook V12) with nary a stretch on OEM tire size. Either size will do, but I like the OEM sizes because they are more value-priced. OBTW, Michelins are really oversized and look more like plus size tires in comparison:

219M wheels: Front: 8.5x18ET29, Rear: 9.5x18ET23

Michelin SS:

Hankook V12:

I'm running 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 Michelin PSS on those exact rims and it is a perfect fit.

Yes. Sorry for the late reply. LCI sport suspension. Perfect fitment in my opinion.
