Id go with the 40, less height is a good thing, and less tire "roll" just my $0.02

Granted i dont know a thing about the BFG force tires though...

Having a little bit of roll wouldn't hurt, 18's don't leave much room for sidewall flex taking away a lot of the road feel. Having more sidewall in this case would help with launching the car also. Have to find the happy medium.

My 1st choice was 225/45/18 to give 0.4" more under car clearence than 225/40/18,
but i fear to get some rub on fender like some people on H&R springs.
Did the 225/45/18 are rubbing on sportlines ?
