Default rim fitment question

Hi I was very interested in buying some XXR 521 RIMS & TIRES.... found a amazing deal in them with tires off a guy in town

I was wondering what I would have to do to the is300 to get them too fit or if they would fit automatically ...( I'm a newb when it comes to fitment #s)

RIMS r - 18x10 all around
TIRES - 245/40 all around toyo proxies....

Please help I'm looking to jump on these quick before he sells em..

18x10 would fit the rear depending on offset and good suspension setup as far as i know. Will not fit the front too wide.

Yeah, you could potentially fit the rears given the offset and amount of camber you're running, plus a fender roll. You could always buy the set and sell/trade the fronts for more IS friendly ones? You may even turn a profit lol

I'd just save up for something that fits. Check the classifieds and craigslist frequently, you can find some sweet deals.

225/40's and a +25 offset or higher will fit, assuming you are running negative camber and slightly pulled fenders.

245's could work on the rear with pulling the fenders, however in the front would rub when you turn, unless your stock height.. even then, under compression would rub (turning)
