I have a 98 ES300 and have 225/40/18 and I am not rubbing, I'm lowered on coilovers with a finger gap all around. Rubbing will varying on how low you are, wheel offset, if your using spacers and tire size. I was rubbing in the rear, even with cut and rolled fenders, so I had to raise it to a finger gap to eliminate the rubbing. I am also using 15mm spacers in the rear and my offset for my rims are 38. Im looking to get new rims with similiar offset, but probably go with 215/40/18 so I can lower her and eliminate the finger gap all around. Good Luck bro.
