I have a 1997 ES300 that is going to be lowered 1.4" - 1.6". The guy said the 225/40ZR18's wouldn't fit and I'd have to get 215/35ZR18's. I would like the larger sidewall and wider tread of the 225/40, but will I have rubbing issues?

Also,
Here's what the rims say (I'm assuming somewhere in all the gibberish after ET the stud diameter is in there, but where I don't know)
18 x 8 ET18/35/38
100 - 120/8,10 - ET 40
18 x 8.0 - ET 40

Does anyone know if I'll need spacers or if these will bolt up with no problems. I'm really looking forward to getting some new shoes on the lex!!!
Thanks guys.

A lot of guys here including myself run with 225/40/18s. About fitting with spacers or not I'm not sure how to read the specs you gave us other than its an 18*8. What we really need to know at this point is what the offset is?

you don't have any problems with your car being lowered?

I haven't lowered it yet I mean look at how high it sits

I'm running 225/40/18s after a 1.5" drop with no problems.

Thanks for the reply. I was pretty sure it would be okay, just wanted to hear that other people were doing it without problems.

Just ordered some 18x8" rims with 225/40/ZR18 Falken tires. I'll give out more info and put up pics when I get them in and installed!!
