Got new rims

Offsets are 63, and 51- 18". Do I want 35's or 40's when I order tires? Is there an advantage to one over the other?

Get the ones that will closely approximate the overall diameter of the OEM tires. Then you speedometer and odometer will not be off by much. If this doesn't matter to you, get what looks good to you or what performs good for you.

Standard plus sizing would recommend 40 series front and 35 series rear with an 18" wheel.

Some people run 40 series rears but it can have adverse effects on your handling, speedometer and gearing due to the added rotational mass and tire height.
