No, no definitely don't use 225-40-16. Are you sure BFG told you that? I don't even see that size as being available at TireRack.
If they don't have 215-50-16 I'd run 225-50-16; that's what I have, completely stock wheels and suspension. If you wanna save a few dollars I see that the 205-55-16 are $14 cheaper per tire. Both of those options leave you with the same overall height of tire, with the 225 affording a bit more width. With both, when your speedo says 60mph, you'll actually be going 61mph.
Choice depends on whether you like a little buldge in your sidewall or not... how much $56 is worth to ya... and how aggressive your wife drives.
