Tires stretch differently depending on brand. For example, Falken 512's/912's tend to run smaller. But I have 225/40's on an 18x8, and there is no stretch. But if I put 215's on it, there would be slight stretch.

Either way you want a 40 sidewall to maintain the correct diameter to keep the speedo/odo accurate.

225/40/18's or 215/40's close to stock rolling diameter, if you have an americas tires or discount tire go there guaranteed lowest prices anywhere, if you want a good tire all around get the continental DWS's, performance tire Bridgestone kdw's amazing traction in the wet etc.
