Gen5 Please help me make my tire decision

I looked throught the aggressive wheel/tire thread and didn't find what I was really looking for, so please don't flame me for not searching.
I'm running 18X8 +35 offset Falken Torque 5s. I was wondering do y'all suggest 245/40 or 235/40. I would rather use 245/40 because there are more options through the tire shop I go through, but I am worried that 245 on the front might rub the front or rear suspension. Speaking of the suspension, its all stock.
Thank you in advance

You'll be fine with 245/40/18. Although I suggest you go with 225-45-18 or 235-45-18 for your 18x8 +35 offset.

For width of 7.5, I think 225-45-18 would be a better fit.
