Question Will these fit?

I bought a set of 2002 SC 430 rims...I'm wondering will they fit on my 93 ES 300 (I can't remember the fitmant) I was thinking of getting 225/40-18 size tires. Will they fit....and if they do fit will they rub?

how bad is it for your tires to rub?

you need to get 215/45-18 for your 93 ES3. That is the only size that you should buy, if you try and alter, it will throw off your speedometer and mess up engine timing. Post some pics of it when you get it done, I'm curious as to how it will look on your car.

actually it is 225 40 18 for max size
the outerdiameter
is different for tires depending on the model and size
on every tire
any different tire will change the speedometer
but engine timing is not affected at all
