Need tire options for these rims and TRD suspension

I need help with my tire set up on for the LRS 1.0. I want these rims and know they will fit but am not sure if the front will rub against the stock TRD suspension. They are ADVID 1 - 18x9.5+38 offset. I want to buy 235/40/18 tires for it but am uncertain if I will run into problems with the TRD stock setup up front. Anyone have these wheels already installed? Or a wheel with the same dimensions?https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...4a&oe=5653D159

+1 view from me.

But as I know very little about tire size I have nothing to add to this thread. However I am curious to see if those will fit.

Check the wheel directory for fitment.

The TRD option is just springs, so the spring perch is in the same location.

Don't act like an entitled jerk. Nobody owes you anything. With that being said...

This may just BARELY clear the inside front spring perch, but it will rub on the inside of the fender liner due to your tires having a slightly tall sidewall and your wheel width/offset locating that tall tire further inward (I run the same size on 8.5" wheels, but with coilovers) . You may have a chance to clear since the tire will be that this is slightly stretched. Make sure to pick a tire that runs narrow in the tread width (8" or so, some run as wide as 9"+ in the 235 size). Most people would fix inside rubbing with a narrow spacer 3mm-ish. However since your wheel is wide and low-ish offset already you might not clear on the outside with a spacer. IMO this setup is a gamble. Pick a narrower wheel.

btw... the wheel you chose, many MFGs make something in this style so you will have a lot of choices to get a more optimal 8.5" - 9" wide wheel. Look for RAYS/Gramlights (57 Extreme), Konig (Torch), BremmerKraft (BR-10), Enkei (don't remember the model) etc etc.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't trying to be an entitled jerk, just that I have been on allot of other car forums and so far this one has not responded very well after posting questions and asking for help. Forum is for enthusiast and people wanting help, not looking for name calling. :w00t:
