Default Will this fit on a 92 SC400?

A while ago, someone posted this wheel. These are the Lexus OEM 18x9. I have afriend with a 92 sc400 and he was wondering if this will fit on his car. If so, what tire size should he be getting? Thanks.

Wow, a +45 on an 18x9- that'll just barely clear the suspension upright. I'd go for a 245/40-18 on all four corners.

You might want to use a 5mm or 10mm spacer on the rear to make the rears not so 'sucked-in' looking... but then again, I have a super critical eye for wheel offsets!

Thanks for the response. So far, it seems fit won't be an issue. 245/40-18 is the currently suggested size. His car is stock right now. Will there be rubbing? Will height be OK? Or, will he need to get upgraded shocks/springs?

Sorry for the bump guys. He is ready to buy the tires and just want to make sure about sizing and if it will fit on his car (rubbing, ...). This is his first "mod" and I just want to make sure things work out OK. I have a GS so I don't know enough about the SCs to help him. This is why I depend on you guys.

Nope. Not a GS wheel.
That rim never came out as a factory wheel for any of Lexus vehicles. At least here in the states...
