This is for a 98 GS300. I just got a set of wheels for free and was wondering what is the tallest and widest tires I can put on with these wheels?
18x7.5 +45 offset (front and rear)
I want to get the widest tire possible and tallest without rubbing. I will be dropping the car with Tein springs in the future.

That's an incredibly narrow wheel for the GS.
Stock is 17x8
Anything bigger than 235 is out of range for a 7.5" wide wheel.
245/35-18 or 245/40-18 call for a minimum of an 8" wide wheel.
A 255/35-18 calls for a minimum of an 8.5" wide wheel.
I'd stick with 225/45-18 to get some decent sidewall.
225/40-18 looks too short on the GS unless you SLAM the car.
Or, save up and get wider wheels. Staggered is a must for the GS!

245-45-18 would be perfect for this wheel spec. factory tire spec is 215-60-16 is 26.1 inches in OD and is 8.5 inches wide. the 245-45-18 is 26.7 inches in OD and is 9.6 inches wide. hope this helps you out.
