Question Rims and Tires

Whats up guys?

So I just finished lowering my 98 Lexus Es300 and now I'm looking at rims and tires. I'm thinking about getting the Tenzo R M type rims, 18x8 front and back. For tires I'm looking at the Falken Azenis PT722 A/S.

So how wide do you think I should go in the back and how wide in the front?

I was thinking 255/40R18 in the back but IDK about the front.

255 is too much from what ive heard. on my 2000, im goin 225/40R18 and i bought these sick Katana cr5 (google them) and got all four of them for $400. i went to onlinetires.com, got a price, went to discount tire and compared it, and they dropped it to $430 with the lugs and everything. good luck man hope it looks sick!

it depends on how much you lowered it. But might rub with the 40 side walls, and 255 is pretty wide.
