Default Will these fit??

Hey guys,

I know I may be way off here but just asking, I got these very nice wheels pretty much free ... just wondering if they would fit? For the price of $400 is not bad right?? (07 rx350 wheels) BTW, this would just be temporary as I am buying new wheels soon.

18 x 7.5
35 offset
235/55R18

Other than your sidewalls being tall(55), too tall imo, these should fit w/no problem,
As far as temporary use? you'll be just fine

The tires won't fit, so be prepared to drop $400+ for a set of rubber.

245/40-18 is idea but will look "buffalo" on those skinny wheels.

225/45-18 is the same height as 245/40-18 but will look better on those wheels.

They would look ridiculous and handle awful. I doubt any tire shop who knows what they're doing would even attemp to mount them.
