alaskaty Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm a new owner of a 98 lexus es300 and am loving every second of it. The ride is WAY better than my 93 typhoon, and it hasn't broken down on me yet! I'm thinking about getting some 18" rims and the place I'm looking at offers two different tire sizes 225/40/ZR18 and 215/35/ZR18 I looked up a tire size calculator and it showed that the 225's were much closer to my stock wheel diameter. Has anyone ran 225/40/ZR18s without rubbing? - my car is stock height Thanks for the help. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came like that so I don't really know if they are needed. I've gone as big as 235/45/18 on the back but speed bumps would rub a little. hope this helps.

alaskaty Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 thanks for the info.
