I'm thinking of picking up my buddy's 18x7.5 wheels with a 38 offset. The tires mounted on them are off a G35 coupe so they have a staggered fitment front is 225/45/18 and back tires are 245/45/18.

Tires are almost done but should last through this summer, so next summer I'll be buying a set of new tires with the size 225/40/18.

My question is, Would the tires rub on the fenders with my S-tech drop or should i be okay?

Are those wheels 5x100? Most cars are 5x114.3.

You might have an issue with the rear tires.

I would double-check the fitment since G35's use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

The wheels are aftermarket and are dual pattern, just the tires i'm worried about. I guess I'll have to try them on the car and find out. If they rub I'll put the 17s back on until I can get some tires.

I'll be grabbing a set of 225/40/18 tires today and hopefully have them installed as well.

Yesterday I saw an IS300 that had the same thing done on the OEM wheel spokes but with black on the inside and that looked really nice.

Lol, and if you wonder how it would look dumped.

thanks man!! now i have another reason to get coilovers and get my front windows tinted....wow i never knew tinting the front windows would make such a difference....but i am gona get pulled over for sure since those are 5% and i DO like the red strip....

my only concern with coilovers is that i always carry people in my car, sometimes 3 in the back....soo....what would happen then ??

anything will look good on a dumped rolla...even steelies... but like i said, my main issue is carrying people, with coilovers i think i would have serious clearance issues. i am not sure how well the coilovers would hold up in -30C/snow either...

I'm good thanks though. If they were 16" wheels with a 4 hole bolt pattern I would get them for my 7th Gen Corolla.
