the profile is a percentage of the width so dropping to a 225 will also lower the profile height (even though they're both 40 profile).

Exactly what I was thinking. A 225/40 only gains 4mm but a 235/35 gains 11mm. A 225/35 gains 15mm
Ie-
235x40% = 94mm (current tire)
235x35% = 83mm
225x40% = 90mm
225x35% = 79mm
I don't think 225x40 is going to be enough (4mm) so it looks like the 235x35 would give enough clearance (11mm) but not be an ideal width. 225x35 might look too small.
Dunno. Food for thought.
Thanks.
