Default Daddy-O, other's , RX330 rims setup help!

Daddy-O, RX989, etc.,

I need your help. I won a bid off ebay for 235/55/18 330 rims/tires and need some pics front/back shot setup. I read that 20 mm is needed, but I think Daddy-O suggested 15mm all around.

Can I just put the rims on since it's the 235 series instead of the 255/55/18?

Need some close up front bumper/rear bumper pics up close to see if it clears the rear struts?

Thanks,

with that size tire, you will need no spacers at all. Which from what I understand is a the better route to go...

Sorry about that. I thought it was you. I can't remember who it was too....

Can anybody confirm RX989 and my info to be correct that 235/55/18 don't need spacers at all, especially in the rear struts?

People?

Thanks

Sorry about that. I'm in California and it's a little breezy. Anyways, the reason for the close up is I wanna see how much the tires stick out. Would the car look like Big Foot on big wheels? I looked at your archives. Any more pics from the past available? Much Much appreciated.
