Default Bigger tire wall size?

I need new tires for my gs350. I am sticking with the stock 18" wheels but would like to improve the ride quality if I can. If I purchased 45 series tires instead of 40, would this help or have any negative effects? Thanks

The tallest I can assure you will fit is the 235/45R18 at 26.3" tall. Anything taller may have a possibility of rubbing when turning full lock to lock.

So instead of getting the stock 245, i would have to get the 235 to compensate the larger sidewall? Thanks for the response!
