18" OEM AMG tire size question

The OEM size is 225/40/18 in front and 255/35/18 in back. I scratched one of my wheels by barely even touching a curb and I feel like I wrecked my car. Can I go up in size tire to try and have more protection? The size I was looking at was 235/40/18 Front, 265/35/18 back. Will it effect performance and/or give me some added protection?

On my AMG 5 spoke wheels I run a 235/40R18 up front and a 265/35R18 out back. Rides perfect.

Good news--can you post a pic of the tires on the wheel? Do you think the added width provides a little more protection?
