Need advice on 18" wheels and spacers

The tire size your running 245/40/18 the rim width range needs to 8 - 9.5 inches wide. Sounds like you overloading the tire load capacity using a narrow rim. Change the rims & you'll be fine. Go to www.1010tires.com/tools/tire-calculator and it'll tell you the recommended tires for any rims you putting on your car

Now I'm not sure if I want to shell out the money for new rims, go the extra mile with rims and good tires(think I'd get a staggered setup) or try to get quality spacers see if they get rid of the shake and ride them till the tires go and then deal with it

IS350 staggered wheels are the way to go if you're going to stick with 18s. I had that set up a few years ago. I was running 245/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. Ride was still smooth and handled a little better. My current set up is 19x8 front 245/35/19 and 19x9 rear 265/35/19 chrome GS Fsport wheels. I'm gonna start putting it together Monday and will build a thread
