I'm sure some of you will think this isn't the place for this question and although i've asked elsewhere i still wanna hear your opinions. I just purchased a new set of wheels and shoes for my Lexus and even though i like what i got i wonder if i can go a little smaller on the sidewall height. I got the Borbet Type FS 18"x7.5 wheels and Pirelli PZero Nero M+S (215/45ZR18 93W) tires but i was wondering if the Goodyear Eagle F1 (225/45RZ18 95Y) tires would be an ok fit with my wheels...

Here's a couple of pics of a Saab with the same wheels (different shoes) and i thought i'd look pretty cool in the Lexus.

I should be getting them next week, so i'd like to order the F1's tomorrow and get them next week as well so i can have them installed on the weekend. Any suggestions?

I like deepdish rims too but it's overly used here where i live, anyone and everyone wants deepdish rims but i just want something nice that will go with the car. Also deepdish rims for my lexus would require me working a lot with the offset and maybe even folding the fenders which i don't want to do.

That's where i got the tires, it didn't let me pick the F1's for my rims, but that doesn't mean i can't put them on the rims.

Yes. 225 will fit on 7.5" but you might want to check to make sure it won't rub.

...and get some potenza RE-01s instead. :P

I always thought Eagle F1's were better... Will the RE-01 fit my wheels?

The RE01 is a performance tire... I'd say one of the best but not cheap. lol

Yeah, they'll fit. Tire size is tire size. I have the 225 on mine but my wheels are 8" but I have seen people run 245 RE01s on my same wheel.

Kumho Ecsta SPT ftw! Oh wait...you gotta live in AZ to enjoy them lol. They are sticky but only friendly to dry hot weather.

I like Azenis as well.

So i decided to go with the Eagle F1's All season 225/40ZR18, from what i read it's not gonna fit, but hopefully i'll find someone to mod my car enough to fit.

Fit the wheels i know they will, but the wheels+tires wont fit in the car without spacers or any other offset mods. It'll probably rub either the fenders if i don't roll it or the struts depending on offset. I'm kinda jumping into conclusion though, because from what i read it should fit with minor mods to offset.

Finally got them in this morning and it fits fine with plenty of room left. I could have gone bigger and wider, here's how it looks.

That sure is nice, but it's too much truck for the sand... My lexus would never need that. Although those are Brembo rotors and Akebono pads, i have plenty of stopping power. Next will be installing a $1500 nav system yey!

Looks pretty nice Kioto!

Personally though, yeah, I'd like something a little deeper looking, but then again the style for my Lancer is tooootally different from your Lexus.

Still, they give it a good look, to where its stylish, but not over doing it AKA WTFLOLGANGSTARIMZZZ
