255/45-18 will work on either of those widths but will be much better off on the 9". 255/45's are actually about 0.2" shorter than your 235/50's, but I seriously doubt that anybody ever notices that small of a change. Tires wear about three times that much from new to discard.

275/40-18 would work on the 9" wide wheels if you can live with tires that are about 0.4" shorter than the 255/45's.
