Those will not work without a fender roll. Not even close and different tires will not fix the problem.

The rear wont even fit with a fender roll. Close, but no cigar. Overstretch a 245 on there and you have a chance. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Also 215/35/18 is the wrong size for the front. 215/40/18 is the right size for the front.

Ok thanks. I jus teally like the wheel. I think I'll opt for a cheaper set of Drag wheels or maybe the Tsw nurembergs I know on the Lexus forum I get reamed out for buying cheap wheels but they look good and are affordable so I can buy other mods to make it run better

Ok I think this setup might work and the wheel is a little higher quality than the taw etc. I appreciate you guys n girls input as its really daunting and confusing dealing with all the offset issues and size differences when trying to actually buy from a rim company.

Rota D2. 18x8. Front 18x 9 Rear.
Offset + 48. Will that setup work. No fender rolls etc.

Tires I'm thinking. 235 / 45 : 18. Front
255 or 265 / 40 / 18. Rear. Thanks again. Tom

I also found some Rays. Wheels that have plus 50 offset but there only 7 " wide. Front and rear. What's the widest rear tire I could put on that rim without compromising safety or looking stretched Thanks tom

Would work at stock height with 215/40, 245/35 tires. If lowered, you would need a fender roll. 225/40, 255/35 would be ideal tire size. Sizes you listed are oversized diameter.

Not good specs, that is a FWD fitment. Widest rear I would run on those is 225.

So 215/40 on front and 245/35 on rear would work.

You said 225/40. 255/35 would be idea. But only work with fender roll ?

I couldn't say for sure, not that familiar with stock height fitments. The specs are right at the limit though so the slight difference in width could be the difference between rubbing and not rubbing.

Generally speaking, 18" wheels with low profile tires at stock height is not a good look. I always recommend 17" AP2 wheels for people that want a cheap upgrade that will be an improvement in both looks and performance. No worry about rolling fenders and lots of tire choices available.
