Default 18x10 tire question

Hey Guys im pretty new here but I just recently just bought me a 00 gs300 n I was thinking on buying some 18x10.5 +20 offset wheels. My question is what is a good size tire that would make it look aggressive and has a nice stretch. I was thinking some 245/40 all around would do but just not sure. One more question will I need wheel spacer to clear tha calibers, thank any answer would help

You will not fit those wheels in the front without a roll. myus300a is sunk in 24mm more than yours is. If 18x10.5 +20 is your front offsets you will need roll.

Ok thanks for all tha help guys n yes front and rear is 18x10.5 +20 offset n I figured I would need rolling since its so wide and you said get 225/40 tires, that means its gonna stretch more right? Must be nice to be riding on air suspension, I would like some but to baller for my blood right now lol, I got coilovers on mine. One more question about tha rear do I need to get camber kit to make it tuck in,if so where and what brand can I get or from

for that sizing I'd do a 225 up front and 245 in the rear depending on how much camber your running sir.
I threw my rear 19x10.5 +22 on my front to see if it would fit and i was able to tuck it with my 245/35 but I wouldn't have been able to turn obviously.

using 235/35 tires all around but have to change all that since I'm running LS400 calipers now. Too much poke in the front with added 15mm spacers to accommodate the LS calpiers.



the extreme pokage...





18x10.5 20mm all around
