Default 225/40/18 on TRD 18" Wheels?

I have the 18" TRD wheels and tires & I want to put 225/40/18 tires on them ... Has anyone put 225/40/18 on them or knows if I will have rubbing problems? I have the full TRD suspension (shocks/springs)!

I went with 225/40/18 on my wires I do scrub just a little in the front but they ride really well here is a few pics.
I still have the stock springs in.

I had 225/40/18s before and they will rub against the fastener that holds the bumper to the body. You will hear annoying scarping noise when going over dips and bumps on the freeway.

Get 215/40/18s instead. With this setup you will only hear rubbing on full turn. I'm happy with this setup with a 2" Spy springs...

I have 16, I was comparing the two, I want to go 225/45-16, since its exactly same diameter as 215/35-18 but still not sure, there are not that many company which make 215/45-16 so I don't have any other options I guess !!! Sean
