Hi, if they are taller in height they'll be larger in diameter generally, although yours might be fine a few guys have noticed that even the normal wheel/tyre set up can foul the back of the light pods.

Here's a previous thread.

Yes 40/18 will catch on the car.
You can have 245 (or even 255 maybe) in width but keep them in 35 (listen to the noise on the video of my car on the HTTT in corners with Toyo 888 in 245/40/18...)
