I have 225 40 zr18 tyres fitted on my mk3 Mondeo..what I'm thinking of is fitting 225 45 profile instead of 225 40...is this viable or will it cause problems...IMHO I think the 40 profile is a tad too small for British roads..

Other than more expensive you will knock the speedo out slightly.

I'm worried about the clearance particularly the rear struts as its a very very close...I'm hoping someone has already got 225 45 18 on their mk3 Mondeo with no issues hopefully...

I had 215/40R17 my last car and changed to a 45, the visual difference was negligible same can be said for clearance, major thing was though for me, comfort and pot holes. I had no punctures on the 45's and the comfort was a lot better, so was road noise
