215/35/18 or 215/40/18 on 18x9 et35?

I just got my 18x9 et35 advan g-forces (jk) and wanted some moderate stretch. Which tire size should I go with, 215/35/18 or 215/40/18? I'm only on s-techs right now.

215/35 is a whole gang of stretch on a 9" wheel"

215/40 isnt much better:

how about 225/40?

215/35/18 will fit aggresively, but the ride will be utterly uncomfortable

I think I've decided to run 215/35/18 Federal SS595's. Any thoughts?

If you run that much stretch, you better have a drop to match it, or it will just look silly. If you're on S-Techs, I would go with a 40 and something wider, like a 225.
