I didnt even know tire rack sold toyos ???

Toyos generally run on the not so wide side. I too would also go with the 255. You should be okay with those.

I ran 265 on my ssr gt3s and had no rubbing at all.

I wouldnt be worried about the rear as much as i would the front. The 18 inch ssrs i was running were 8.5 also but had a lot higher offset.

Are you planning on lowering the car?

I was running sumitomos on the car and those are a bit wider than the toyos in their respective sizes.

It is actually 18x8.5 +43 offset in the front. The speedstar website in Japan recommended 18x7.5 +43 front and 18x8.5 +55 rear. I have 1" more on front and end and hope that the guy in Hawaii (Eurosport) knows what he is talking about.
He promised me no rubbing and no sticking out !
18x8.5 +55mm is alot better in front than 18x8.5 +43mm!

Unicron,
I know but the +43 is the highest offset they offer :-(

Here the specs: look at "59 mm" SL means 2'3 lip
