diameter of a 17 inch rim with 40 profile tyre is still 20mm less than an 18 inch rim with 35 profile rubber plus you'll need a 7 inch wide 18"rim. most rims in corsa fitment are 7.5 inch rims which make a lot of difference.

its all down to the width
a 205/40/17 will be the same diameter as a 205/35/18

although, getting a 205/35/18 may prove a little hard, its a bit of a peculiar size

put 15s on and be done with it... much better
