My exact setup: 18x7.5, +48mm, 225/40R18 Toyo T1R

Stock height, no rubbing, even with people in the back seat.

I'll let u know soon enough. I'm ordering 18x7.5 +48 tomorrow. Plus my car is lowered. As soon as they arrive, I'll post pics. Shouldn't rub though.

I am thinking about getting 18"x7.5 Konig trouble with a 45 offset. Could I fit 225/40R18 size tires without rolling the fender and rubbing. I have stock suspension btw. Or would it be better getting 215/45R18 tires?
