It may not be a good idea since the speedo will no longer be accurate...I've been running spacers on my car with stock rims and tires, then the car lowered itself and killed the wheel gaps lol

225/45 and 255/40 rear will be about 1/2 inch in height and 1 inch overall, it will help minimize the gap., you will be about 5% off on revolution and maybe 1mph off

Hey, @Alyer1992 , not sure if you saw this or not, but this thread has a similar question if you wanted to get some more thoughts: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...45-fronts.html

Just keep in mind that if you have an AWD car, you need to have equal front and rear tire diameters.
