Default what size 18" tyre for a saph??

im waiting on my wheels arriving from reyland and i want to have the tyres waiting.i want yokohama paradas,last time i had them on my last saph i think they were 215/35/18,can i run 225/40/18 or 225/35/18?
i know ill have to roll the front arches but i dont want to have to roll the rears or start cutting.ill be going low on coilovers and dont want any rubbing!

mine has 215 35s and it would not take any bigger on the front even with the arches rolled.. think the rears would take 225s though.. hope so cos thats what ill be trying next.

Had 225/45 rolled arches front an back..
Leda coilovers. .. Dont lower too much or it will spoil the handling.....
