can anyone help me? I'm trying to find out what would be the best tire size for me. I have 18x7.5 +43 . I have coils and plan on dropping them as far as they go again in the summer. I'm looking at 225/45/18. Does this seem right or should I be looking more 220/45/18?

Dude you wont rub. And if you do it will only rub on the inner plastic.They are to sunken in! If you are worried about rubbing than just leave it!

Well I have 10mm spacers but I get what your saying. Anyone running Falken 452s or those Azenis RT? I'm just making sure I'm getting the right tires for me. $700 is alot to blow on rubber

you should just put a 215/45/18 on the 7.5 and for sure it shouldn't rub

Yeah, no crazy tuck or anything like that, just optimum ride height for suspension geometry ive found. and some 18x8.5 Kosei K3 rims with a +50 offset. (EDITED as they are not actually made by toyota, but in toyota, japan) At 17lbs a wheel theyre extremely light. plus ive always been a sucker for a 5 spoke. ENJOY

The Toyota plant is basically a town within itself. Kosei just happens to be on Toyota's property.

Quote:

The registered office of Kosei Aluminium and the Toyota site are situated in the heart of the car industrial region, in the East of the town of Toyota.

This plant is endowed with a high effective productivity system, and makes 40000 wheels per month as lots of spares for cars (brake cylinders, admission collectors).
