Personal experience, bone jarring ride on 35 and 40 series tyres - very stable on the dry smooth tarmac of Donington but 'kin useless anywhere else.
Went back to 17's which felt just right.......

Rule of thumb ....
17" for go, 18" for show.
(A lot will depend on the weight of the wheels)

After four S's and seven different wheel set ups including three 18" sets.
BTW When I had EVO's on my first S the top speeds where higher in each gear because the rolling diameter was slightly larger. Down side the acceleration was slightly lower.
Currently I'm going with slightly wider 17" Volks, I have a set of 18" I might keep for track days.
