Default Jim, can I use this set up? Thanks

Can I use 225/40/18 in front and 225/35/18 in the back because SE-3 doesnt have 245/35/18, they only have 255/35/18 which will scratch my car. Will this set up effect the handling a lots? Some of my friends told me maybe it will have better handling. Thanks for answering my question.

Most people do use the 225/40R18 and 255/35R18 for tires. I think you will be fine with this size.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Jim, I know lot of people use 225 and 255, but my rear wheels is CE28N with 50 offset also with tein RA suspension, it will scratch my car if I use 255 in rear. Do you think I can use 225/35/18 instead of 255/35/18 without hurting the performance on handling. Thanks

Will they physically fit on to the car? Yes. Will those sizes negatively affect the performance/handling? Yes.

The 225/35R18 will not work on the car. It will be too short. The only other size I would recommend would be 245/35R18 or stay with the 225/40R18 all the way around.
