Default wheel and tire size help

I need some help as I do not know a lot about rims and tires...

OK I am going to purchase a set of Work Wheels VS-MX off someone...The size is 18x7.5 the bolt pattern is 5x114.3, came off 99 Eclipse gs-t. Offset is +45
I have a 2003 accord v6 coupe...and his tires are nitto 555.
The problem is two of his tires are 235/40/18 and the other two are 225/40/18...He did this becuase of his turbo...
My question is how should I set up these tires on my car since they are different size...Moreover, which ones should go in the front which ones in rear? I checked a speedo calucator and I will be off by liek 1~2% but how would I calculate since tires are differnt size? Please help
Will this rub agasint my car, it is on stock springs and all...will the 45 offset make wheels stick out a lot? or not at all?

the wider tires would go up front since the car is fwd. 235's should still clear the fender, and on stock suspension i dont think you'll have any problems. you could always switch the tires if you do.

makes sense to do it that way but if you are not looking for performance stick the fatties in the rear for cosmetics

I would stick the phatties in the rear. The 225's are probably closer to factory spec anyway. Or just get two new 225's.
