225 fit's nicely, but 235 will be better because with a 40 series sidewall you'll be close to the stock tire diameter. 225's will either be to short or too tall.

225s should be fine on 8s they might be a little streched... but not bad.... I had a set of 225/45/17s on 17x9s .... they worked fine but a little too streched for my taste... come to think of it BMW runs 225s on 8" factory wheels

another stupid question i already have a tire its 235 40 18 and this other guy wants to sell me 3 tires that are 225 40 18 is that okay to do since everything is the same besides like a 1/2 inch more width on the 1-will i have tire wear problems and shyt-im getting a great deal on the 3 tires but should i just wait for a deal on 235s? let me kno

Im running 235s on my 17x8 wheels, fits perfectly and the grip is amazing.

No. As i said earlier, you can't get the right size sidewall. 225/40/18 is too small, 225/45/18 is too tall. 235/40/18 is just right.
Since you already have one, just get 3 more of the same exact tire.

yes 225s will fit. 225s came stock on the 5th gen's 7in wide wheel. i say with your 8inchers put on some meat- 245s and then laugh at your hondas friends that brag about their 215s

DO'NT GET THE 225/40/18!!!!!!

You're gonna regret it. You're in NY, doesn't matter if its the city. With so many potholes on the road these days, you're gonna dent your rim. I have 225/40/18 on my rims now n i have 2 lil dents. reason why i have these tires because they came off of an RSX and honda's n acura have a smaller wheel-well then we do. 235/40 is about .5 inch with radius higher than 225.40. If you are lowered to one finger gap all around, thats another inch off the ground which is a lot. you might not think so but it is. you can get 225/45/18, they'll still fit, but not recommended but thats what i would get if i were to get new tires. but they're relatively more expensive than 235/40 which would be the only reason i would get the 235/40 rather than the 225/45
