Default need to confirm widest tire on RX330 18" wheel

I just purchased a set of 18" RX330 wheels for my 02 RX300. I just wanted to confirm what the widest tire you can install without any modifications and rubbing. I think the 255/55/18 will rub so I'm thinking of 245/55/18.

Or would you suggest a different tire size?

I'm switching out to my hypersilver 16's winter time and use the 18" most of the year.

Thanks!

Thanks Robert! I think it was one of your posts where I saw that the 255s would rub.
