wheels and tires

Okay so I got a set of wheels this week they are 18s they have tires on them now 215/40/18 my car isn't lowered yet but I test fitted them and they look so small. Should I run 215/45/18 or keep them 215/40. What does the ss 18s tire size

The wheel is 18x7.5 but with the 215/40 it looks so small on the car

I killed my 215/40's on the front in a year so when I bought two new front tires I bought 225/40.

Made two differences, one the fronts look fuller now, remember I still have the 215/40's on the rear, and I get better traction so I go vroom instead of squeal all the time. Still breaking them loose in second but they hold better and seem to be wearing better even though they are the same exact tires just different sizes.
