Default [235/40/18] - should I be worried about ordering this size for 18x8 UL's?

I am about to order tires. I have called TireRack and they said they *recommend* 225/40/18. I would like to put on 235/40/18, should I be worried about anything? My understanding is that they should fit. Does it vary tire to tire how the exact fitment will be? I had 235's on the Superleggeras, these will be going on a set of Ultraleggeras. tks.

They're recommending 225s because of your car, not the wheels.

235s fit on 18x8 just fine. They're recommending 225 for the car because that's the "correct"width.
