LS400 owners post your wheel setup
#1966
Hey, I've got a 1991 LS400, not lowered at all, and I'm wondering if these will rub.
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a set of IS350 wheels.
F: 18x8 with 225/45/18
R: 18x8.5 with 255/40/18
I'm not sure on the offsets right now.
Also, I may as well ask the experts for input for best tire sizing on aftermarket wheels with specs: Front 18x8 (+35) and Rear 18x9 (+38)
These will be replacing the stock 205/65/15 on the 15x6.5 wheels and tires on there now. I'm not looking for stretch fit, but instead I prefer a more meaty look.
Thanks in advance!
I'll post pics whichever way I decide to go.

Hey guys, really need some advice here.
I picked up a set of wheels with dimensions: Front 18x8 (+35) and Rear 18x9 (+38) with no rubber.
I need help picking some good sized rubber that'll fit on my 1991 LS400. I tried on a buddy's set of 255/40/18 rears, which have a bigger diameter than my stockers, but they looked kinda small.
I'd kinda like to fill out the look of the wheel well with some rubber, but I don't want rubbing issues.
I see that the 1993-1994s run a 225/60/16, a significantly taller tire.
Can I run taller tires on my 1991 without much issue?
Or should I just stick with 225/45/18 front and 255/40/18 rears, which are both about 2% taller than my stockers, yet oddly look small on the car?
