 Hey all! quick question, and I know in no way are you guys sick of these "will my wheels fit" questions smile.gif

I'm looking at some konig wheels (18x with a 40mm offset, wearing 235/40/18 tires. I was also looking at getting a 1" TRD drop. I don't care about the drop as much but I would like to avoid rubbing, the sticky above said that 225/40/18 fits with the TRD drop and no rubbing or problem, I just want to be sure before I buy them. I cringe at asking you guys a very similar question to one you've had to answer a dozen times, but you guys are the (collective) man! I appreciate it!!!!

 235 Will rub with a 1'' drop. 225 Is cutting it close but the 235 is wide. I doubt it will rub on daily driving but when you take a hard turn or there’s a dip that causes a lot of body roll then you’ll have issues.

 do you think it'll fill up the wheel well good enough that it'll look better and not need a drop? I just wanted to do the 1"... the peeps on yourtc.com said it'd be ok, but I want everyone's opinion!!

 It will work, the only think that I’m thinking will rub is the outer side of the tire since it will be about 10mm wider which is not much but even me with 225 and 18X8 rub on really hard corners or when its an inclined turn. So If your just a daily driver no autoX you’ll be fine.
