Default Tire Size Recommendation
I have a 2001 IS200 with 225/45 R17 wheels. Would like to put a body kit and change the wheels to R18. Would 225/45 fit? Dont want to get any rubbing especially at the rear.

I just put 245/45 17's on 17x8 +38. Rubbed pretty bad before I half assed rolled the rear fenders. No rub after the rolling. I'll post some pics in a few.
