Default 18" tire size for an 08 WRX?

Tirerack says the size should be 215 45 18 but this doesn't seem to match up to the stock 205 50 17 as well as a 225 40 18 does. the 225 40 18 seems to be a perfect match and WAY more tire selection at this size. Anyone running 225 40 18 on there 08's or other model years? Opinions?
They will go on an 18"x7.5", 48 offset and width shouldn't be a problem for the rim but what about the wheel well?
Stock tire 205 50 17
Sidewall:4.0
radius:12.5
Diameter:25.1
Circum:78.8
Revs/mile:804
