I'm pretty sure you will be fine.

Toyota recommended...
Front
Wheel: 18"x7.0"
Tire: 215/40R18
Rear
Wheel: 18"x7.5"
Tire: 225/40R18

Rear

Does this look right everyone?

I wonder why it rubs for one car but not another car? Anyone have any additional information or insight to help us all out?

I know! I was surprised it didn't rub on my car, so I decided to snap some pics for you guys.

It might be. I'm running on Hankook V12 Evo2 K120

Here some pics for u guys

Wheel was turning all the way to right and you have about 1.5 cm left for the clearance on passenger side

Here is on driver side. Pretty much same clearance as passenger side.

RAYSSPL · 09-01-2014, 03:42 PM

would anyone happen to know the type of manufacturing process that's used for the TRD wheels?

LALFAN · 09-06-2014, 02:54 AM

For those of you planning to use the Toyota recommended specs for these wheels what tires are you considering? There aren't too many choices for the front 215/40R18, even less when you narrow it down to all season tires. I live in SoCal so we don't get much rain, but this would be a daily driven so I'd rather go with an all season tire versus a purely summer tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 seems like a logical choice but it only has a rating of 85Y, the stock tires are 87W. I was under the impression that the weight rating must be equal or higher? Is that correct?

That leaves the Continental ExtremeContact DWS or the Yokohama AVID W4S. Opinions?

Or is everyone just planning to run summer tires?

LALFAN · 09-06-2014, 03:34 AM

This really would be much easier if we were 100% certain that 225/40R18 on 18x7.5 fit in the front without rubbing as the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 in that size has a load rating of 92. That would be my preferred setup. Easier to buy tires that size and the ability to rotate too.

FyeaFRS · 09-06-2014, 10:48 AM

I almost feel like I should order just two of the 7.5" P/N wheels and get two 225/40R18 tires and see if they fit on the front. If they don't, and rub, I could just put them on the back and pickup the two 7" for the front.

Thoughts?

Quentin · 09-06-2014, 11:05 AM

If these are same offset as stock, you should have no problem fitting a 225 wide tire on a 7.5" wide wheel. I have 225/45-17 (1% larger diameter than stock) on an 8" with a 45 offset (3mm more aggressive than stock).

225/40-18 should be very close to that. Considering the 9" wide wheels and such I see under a lot of these vehicles, I'd think that if you are rubbing at all on the strut, 5mm spacers should sort you out. Stock studs are long enough for that long of spacer.

Would stock lug nuts work on the trd wheels ? or it requires aftermarket ones ?

18x7.5 +35 wheels with 225/40R18 in front should NOT rub at all.
7.5J+35 is like adding 19mm(48-35+6) spacer from OEM wheels (7J+48). I think something wrong with Speeeddemon99 setup that cause rubbing not the wheels itself. Sway bar proper install?

calmtigers · 10-05-2014, 04:21 PM

anyone have pics of the TRD USA wheels on a white FRS?

Thanks

Sorta similar

86Toyobaru · 10-10-2014, 09:37 PM

I think there are two difference if you take a close look. One is the bolt location and the other is lip pattern. Other than that they almost look the same. Size 18X8J +35/+45.

Some pics
