Rolling fenders is a good idea no matter what, even if it is not necessary.
315/35/17 fit well, so going up an inch in wheel size should mean less sidewall. 305/30/18? Or something close to that.

A 305, although a bit large IMO for a 10" wheel, is approved fitement.

40 series is definitely too tall, you'll want to go with 35s
