Is there a downside to upgrading from the 215/45 to the 225/40? Want to go to a slightly wider tire without also going to the 7.5 rim.

What are you looking for though?
Is it a daily driver, or do you AutoX/track too?
225 will be more pinched / less stretched than stock, possibly having minor impact on steering due to less preload on the sidewall.
Besides obvious things like minimal impact on the speedo readings, it might also minimally reduce how much space there is left when you hit major bumps. The latter might matter if you're lowered a lot and/or have some special coilover setup.
