Captain Sensible here! Best to take Msportsman's advice and take a trolley jack and a spare set of wheels already fitted with track rubber - Easy to carry if you put the back seats down.

Another question... my car currently has 225/40/18. Could I put on 235/40/18 on the same rims without problems?
Anyone got photos of 235s on would be greatly appreciated

You're just p***ing money up the wall running them on the road.
Those Dunlops Ian mentioned are superb, I'd forgotten about them - friend of mine runs them on his LCR track car and over the past 5-6 years of ownership they're the best he's found. I think they suit a heavier car.
Again, this is all down to personal preference in terms of feel/grip and how you drive. Start sawing at the wheel and driving like you're in a Bond film, you've got a very expensive day on your hands no matter what you've bought.

Yes you can use those tyres on your present rims with issues. Only thing to change will be your overall gearing as the rolling circumference of the 235s is slightly greater than the 225s.
