Depending on how low u are , I hear it may. Use 225 to be safe and keep rolling diameter about same.

Default If you are going to.......
keep the stock sport suspension, then 235s ahoudl fit fine. Unless you get tires that have a crazy stiff or bulky sidewall(such as a BFG G-Force TA) I tried to fit 235-40 G-force TAs on an S4 with stock 17 inch rims and stock suspension, they wouldnt fit! Also there should be no problem with the extra diameter of a 235 tire on an 18 inch rim, it comes out to only about a half inch taller overall.
