The 235/40 is a bit taller of a tire with an overall diameter of 25.4 inches. The 245/35 will have an overall diameter of 24.75 inches. This is a very small change but it can effect ride quality over certain imperfections in the road surface. A 235/40 will also be less susceptible to "tram-lining".
The 245/35 will allow for slightly better handling, especially when paired with the 5mm spacer required and some negative camber dialed in. This additional grip and alignment change will provide a crisper turn-in and a slightly more stable car under braking. This comes with a small sacrifice in ride comfort over rough surfaces.
I hope this helped!
