I don't like the tire sizes you mention for the car. The 235/45R17 is a taller tire than the front tire. You could end up with anti lock brakes that don't work. I think you would be better with either a 205/50R17 or 225/45R7 in the front.
As far as the tires you mention those are extremely different tires. The S03 is a Max performance tire and the FM901 is a marginal performance tire. If you are looking for a good tire at a good price I would suggest the Yoko ES100. It will handle a lot better and give good tread life for a performance tire.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you
