Use this calculator to compare tire size diameters: https://tiresize.com/height-calculator/
I found no great alternate size, I would stay with stock size for stock wheels. However you can use the calculator to do your own research. The stock wheel is 7.5 inches wide, which limits the max tire size to about 245.
Stock 235/60/18 is 29.1 inches
The closest alternate size is 240/60/18 = 29.3" The next issue is actually finding a good selection of decent tires in the alternate size you want as some are not popular.
The alternate sizes 255/55/18 = 29" or 250/55/18 = 28.8" are really too wide for stock wheels.
Your selected widths:
225/60/18 = 28.6"
225/65/18 = 29.6"
245/60/18 = 29.6"
245/55/18 = 28.6
