18x8 will fit fine with a 225/40 tire. If you go any bigger you'll get rubbing.
Also Lyonsroar is correct about the 5x108 fitment not being a problem but the hub size from the P2 (S60R's) and the P1 (S40's) cars are different.
P1: 63.4mm
P2: 65.1mm
With the different size you may get some vibration while accelerating. But you can do one of 2 things to fix that....
1. You hand tighten down the wheels past spec. It will tighten them up just enough so you can get rid of any vibration while accelerating.
2. Get hub rings to accommodate for the difference. This is the proper fix, but because the rings are so thin, they usually don't last very long.
I went through all of this with iPd and H&M motorsports in Portland, OR about all of this when I was running wheels that had the 65.1mm hub size on my Old S40. I opted to forgo the hub rings and went with Hand tightening them down. It worked very well on my '05 S40.
Oh, and go with OEM Pegs or iPd replicas....

This will explain what a hub ring is more specifically then I can...

You should go with 225/45/17. The 17" Pegs are 8" wide so 205's would be a bit of a stretch if even possible.
On both sets of my 18" pegs I have...
235/40/18 -854R
225/40/18 -S60R
For your car I would Definitely go with 225/45/17.
