what is wrong with 225? isnt the wider the tire, the heavy the wheel will be?

this makes no sense .... you would be better off getting an 18x8 for all four corners and run the 225/40-18 on them

Guys, Luke... 225/40-18 on a '02 E430???

Must be at least 235, or 245 (like E55 with ET31) with offset of not more than ET35.

correct 235/40-18 would be a bettter size choice but the 225 does have enough load capacity to use even though it is .3" shorter
