you have a 328i modern line with stock suspension, correct? when you say "better off", i am not sure what better means to you, please elaborate.

either size will work and look fine. the 255 has a lot more grip obviously. if you don't drive with that need, 235's will work fine. 235's are taller and 255's have broader shoulders. both will help lessen the unsightly fenderwell gap.
245's are the happy medium but would look better if your car is lowered

you might want to consider the ps-7 or ec-7. they are heavier but look more concave than arc-8 due to spoke design.

how about a square set of 18x8.5 ET35 PS-7's or EC-7's on 235/45/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. still got a concave look with the best light performance tires. 43 lbs a corner.
You said the 235/40's would cause more of a speedo gap. Yes I have a Modern Line and no I don't plan on lowering it, yet.
