Best tire size for this wheel (c320 4matic)

I have just purchased a set of wheels 18x8 offset of 35. I have a 2003 mercedes C320 4matic. I know the recommended tire size is 225/40/18 is there any other tire size I can go with safely? Possibly wider or?

It'd probably be best to stick with the 225/40's, but I'm sure that you could go 235/40's if you wanted a slightly wider footprint. keep in mind it will be minutely taller...take a look at the specs on the tires at tirerack.com

You can go to a 235/35 or 40 max. Larger will touch the front strut.
