Emergency Wheel Advice Needed 10 Minutes

I have a w140 benz, with a recommended 235/50/18 for upgraded wheels. What if i put 225/40/18s? will it work?

You will likely reduce ground clearance and the speedo will be off.

You will have to go wider, not narrower, to get the same diameter with a lower profile tire.
