TIRE SIZE OPINION PLEASE

Having some difficulties deciding on tire size. Could use some opinions if anyone can help. thanks

18X9 +35
18x8 +35

car is lowered on h-techs
1.6in front
1.0in back

also since they are staggard is it recommended to have a smaller profile on the back tire?

18x8 - these work 225-40 235-40 245-40
18x9 - the above works to including 255-35

i would do 235-40 front & 245-40 or 255-35 rear but i would us same series 35 series front & back or 40 series front & back

like some people who get the 350z staggered rims 8 front & 8.5 rear they do the 225-40 front & 245-40 rears jus to give you an idea
