I don't know too much about rims, but since the 18x8 front is the same size as the 18" lexus rim, wouldn't you go with 245/40 for the front? I then would consider 255/35 or 265/35 for the rears. I think the 255/45 would rub in the rear....

well.did it.

front 18x8 225/45
rear 18x9 255/40

35 offset

will post pics tomorrow. car looks nice and aggresive. really wish the roads were reliable enough to put bigger wheels on, but it would just be a case of taking bets on when and not if i'd break a wheel. oh well, such is life.

did you just paint your brake calipers or did you replace the brake system?
