If you compare 215/40/17's to 215/35/18's, the difference is 4mm across the diameter which equates to the 17's doing an extra 5.5 revolutions over every mile.
Finally someone talks sense.

I run OZ 19s on a new age with coil overs...love the look...biggest gain is brake kit size, my AP's are massive , worst is that you dare not bump up curbs or park to near a curb

If you're worried about the slower acceleration be it 10ths of a second, just up the power - I did!
