I have just referred to mine and it states the following for OEM 18" wheels; 235/45R18 98W / 235/40R18 95Y. So you have a choice of two (2) options. Now it comes down to availability and price of the tyres you are seeking.
As a side note I would say 45 profile tyres will give you a smoother ride.

My placard states the same as yours; either 235/45R18 98W or 235/40R18 95Y. So I've got the 45/98Y's instead but from my reading that's fine as it is a higher rating than 98W. But I could go down to the 40/95Y's if I wanted to. Which is partly where my confusion started because some of the tyres mentioned on this thread were 40/95Y's and that didn't match with what I had.
That helps a lot, and eases my mind a bit as I was worried I was driving on the 'wrong' tyres.
Cheers and thanks for the quick response.
