No OP those tires will not work the are 9% off from OEM sizes. You want it to be under 5%

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
235/45-18 4.2in 13.2in 26.3in 82.7in 766 0.0%
215/35-18 3.0in 12.0in 23.9in 75.2in 843 -9.1%

Agree with everyone else. Those would look like donut tires.

I would go with 225/45, 235/45, 245/45, or even 255/40 on 18's depending on how wide they are.

I would be too scared of bending a rim. I'd stick with a 45 or 40 at best.
