Default Tire question

im going to buy rims and tires for my 98 Lexus GS300 with no modifications done to it yet, and i was going to buy 18" Diablo Lionhearts rims, The seller says they might not fit my car due to the tires being to wide in the rear the rear tires are 265-35-18 are these to wide a tire for the rear on my 98 GS300 and will i have tire rub? or will they fit?

265s will fit, just depends on your offset and rim width.

i have 275s on the rear of my 20x10 and they fit, however my sidewall is a bit tall and rubs the fender at max compression. time for fender roll.

We need to know the offset to answer this question. The right bolt pattern and tire width with the wrong offset will not fit.

Once again wheel and tire size do not mean anything without knowing an offset.
