Is it possible to run 225/40/18 on 18x8.5 rims?? If so, are there any drawbacks/concerns in doing so?? Thanks for all your help guys!!

Yes, you will only get a slight tirestretch.

This is common to do, especially for winter tires. No problem at all in doing so.

Gary,

Would it be possible to use the stock rear tires from an E92 (255/35) on a 18x9.5" +35?

Yes, 255/35R18 tires will mount on 18X9.5" wheels with no problem.
