My main reason for choosing a 265/35R18 was because it was exactly the same diameter as stock. Secondary reasons were that I like the look of a wider tire and with the lower aspect ratio, you normally get a slightly stiffer sidewall (when compared to the same tire with a taller sidewall).
So far though, you haven't talked about the most important thing - what tire are you getting? Many tires will only be available in one size or the other.

Personally, I'd go with a Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec in a 265/35R18. They are more than the Nittos, so if you're targeting the price point of the Nittos, maybe look around for feedback on the Nitto and maybe also the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. There should be a couple of threads on here for those two tires. Both the NT555 and V12 are a step down from the Star Specs. The Hankook R-S3 is probably comparable to the Star Specs in terms of dry performance.

Do you happen to have a pic of your wheel/tire set-up I can look at?
