ok, so from what im reading here, if i want my car with new 18 x 8 rims to sit right, not too high and without having to lower it, i need to get 245-45-18 or 245-40-18, right?

If you are not going to reduce the fender well gap by lowering, then a 245/45 or 255/40 will be close. A 245/40 will increase the gap by about 1/2".

We carry Zinik wheels, but I would have to confirm clearance of the brakes. Feel free to EMAIL ME , and I can work on a package that fits your budet and fitment needs!

sorry to revive such an old thread....i'm new here and i just picked up a 2000 LS400 and some RH R5 pro 18x8.5 rims +35offset from a buddy of mine.

would it be ok to run 255/45/18 or 255/50/18 tires w/ the RH rims without any rubbing or issues?

most likely i will not be lowering the car.

im thinking that the 255/45 will rub in the front if u lower the car but u still may need a mild roll on front's at full lock.

So, if I were to get the OEM 18" LS430 wheels, would 245/45/18 work good?
