Default Will these rub?

I have TRD springs. I'm looking to get some Enkei RSV's.
They're 18x7.5 with a 35 offset. Tires are 225/40/18. I'm actually debating between Falken 912, toyo proxes 4 and kumho asx...but that's another story.

I did a search on this site, but i still couldn't figure out if they will rub or not. anyone have this set up? will it rub? how much more will it stick out compared to the stock rims?

thanks for all your help!

It shouldn't stick out a whole lot, I am running 18x8 with a 35 offset. Only thing is I am at stock height, so not sure about it with the drop. Worst case just roll your fenders.

You shouldn't have any problems rubbing with trd springs.

they sit just about flush. i've got the +45 offset wheels (sorry forgot to mention that) but the 35 should sit just about the same, just a lil more tucked than seen. i'm putting them back on for a show saturday so i'll take a few more pics

^^ nothing's wrong with rubbing, it just means your doing it right

and no, 18x7.5 +35 isn't aggressive enough to rub, especially with TRD springs

thanks. but i'm looking for 18 inch and that's 17. wheelfire.com has them, but they don't say what the offset is. it just says HPO. i have no idea what that means. i emailed them a few hours ago. i'm still waiting to hear back.

18x7.5 will look 'tucked'. The best size I had on my tC was 18x8.5. (Not Enkeis though.)




RARELY rubbed. I have pretty much the same set-up you posted. (TRD Springs & 225/40 tires.)
Try discounttiredirect.com and see if they have the color you're looking for.

I have 18x7.5 35 offset, 225/40/18 and I'm dropped a little lower than TRDs (H-Techs). I don't rub during normal driving, but when I have 4 or 5 people in the car I rub in the back.

Thanks everyone. i think i'm going to go with them, if the site has them in stock.

I usually don't have more than one person in my car, so I doubt I'll rub.

I tried to get these rims from a few sites, but they are discounted. I ended up orders TSW Estorils. they're 18x8 with a 35 offset. hopefully they wont rub either.

but thanks for all your help!

^^You shouldn't rub with that wide of a rim. My FIVEaxis rims are that size and I never rub.
