Default escos 18" tyre sizes

i've always run 225/40-18 but need a set of tyres for the weekend, the guy i get my tyres from can't get a set untill next week, question is, what other tyre sizes can be used on an escos, the guy has a set of 235/35-18's, i'm sure i saw an escos with 225/40-18's before.....

As long as you run all four of the same rolling radius and they are suitable for an 8" rim, then it doesn't matter:

225/40, 235/40, 235/35 and 245/35 would all be okay on this rim width .

OR

have the correct offset wheels to clear your normal spring cups (ET15). If not, then even 225/40s can catch .
