215/35/18 = 23.93 inches tall
225/40/18 = 25.1 inches tall

That is a big difference in sizes. Speedo will definitely be off. Not sure if they will fit but I would get the correct size. What size is stock?

225 would be the widest tires for 7" wide wheels.
That's what I'm currently running on up front.

As for the speedometer, just keep it under 100, and you will do fine.
