Talking Is300 Rims?

What size tire would I need to put these rims on a 97 possibly without rolling the fenders http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Le...7062QQtcZphoto I was thinking like a 215/50/17 tire but i was wonderin what would be the best tire to go with as well as if i needed spacers for them

for that price you should get the 18" OEM rims from either the new sc430, rx300,gs430, or my favorite the is350!!!! I'll envy you!!!

I'm not sure on the tire size for the is300 but I can tell you the tire size for the sc!!! 225/40/18.

is300 wheels are 17x7 so you would use a 205 or a 215 i think. you'll need spacers since it's really sunken in.

UPDATE: I found a set of is350 rims with 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear on them will these fit without rubbing?
