So, I like the sound of lower profile, less wobble?

However this would lower the car further and increase the distance between the tops of the wheel arches and the tops of the tyres, no??

For Ad08 the issue is going to be tire heights, ABS will work best when f/r tire height is as close to the same as is possible, there is some latitude..

235/35 x18 is 24.2"
265/35 x18 is 25.2"

That's too much of a difference

I'd still use
225/40 @ 25.1"
265/35 @ 25.2"
