Either one should work, actual thread width will vary from maker to maker. I think the side walls should be fairly straight.

I currently using F-Sport 18" x 8" Rims with 235/40/R18 But the new tire at local shop are currently out of stock for 235. They only have 225.

So, the feeling and control will change?
