18X7.5 w/ 215/45-18 or 225/40-18 on ES300
I've got a '97 ES300 that will be lowered about 1.5" with B&G springs on KYB struts. I'm concerned about fitment issues(rubbing) and I'm trying to narrow down my options/needs.
I'm going with an 18X7.5" rim that is only available in a 40mm off-set. What tire size would be recommended to ensure that I won't experience any rubbinng???
215/45-18 OR 225/40-18.
I prefer the 225's, but looking for some advice.
thanks.

I did check with Tire Rack and they actually recommend the 215/45-18 for the ES300.
I can use the the 225's, however, I've been told I may experience some rubbing with the 1.5" drop and the 225's.
