Go for 225/40's
That's what 99% of us do

Yes, they are way cheaper and the choice is huge. Don't forget to tell your insurer. It shouldn't affect your premium.

Because it's a modification, it also effects your speedo

I would say to them that you want to get that size because it is both suitable and cheaper. Which happens to be true.
Insurance companies are mainly focused on mods which increase the value of the car or make it more attractive to thieves/joy riders.
