Help please

So my car is on TRD lowering springs and i really want to put wider wheels on it. I am currently looking at 18 x 9.5 (could do 17 x 9.5 also), although I do not want to buy them if they will rub. I am planning on buying coilovers later after wheels.

Will there be any fitment issues? If so then I will just buy coilovers first.

Just wondering and trying to get knowledge on this subject, Thanks!

Check out the wheel fitment thread.

It's going to depend on your offset, not just the width of the wheel.

I'm lowered +2 inches and running a 18x9.5 +35 without any rubbing (255/35/18 tire).

What offset are the wheels? I think you should be able to fit the 18x9.5 wheels with a 245/35/18 size tire. In the rear you will have no problems, but the front will be pretty close to rubbing. You won't be able to add much camber in the front if any.

The 18's are +35 and the 17's are +38
