Default help with TRD 18 incher for my box

hey guys, im in the process of aquiring some 18 inch TRD wheels. question is my brother has a full set of tires for free to give to me size 225/45R18 would this work? my box is currently on tanabe lowering spring, the lowest one DF210 i believe. thank you in advance.

I'm pretty sure you'd be rubbing like a **** on the DFs.

I'm running 35 series on my TRDs and I wouldn't go any bigger than 40 series. Plus those will throw off the speedo.

215/35 or 205/40 is the only 18' that will work with that set-up. Sorry. Congrats on the TRDs tho. They are the best looking wheel for the xB hands down!!!

Oh yea, I didn't even notice the width... yea, those tires just don't fit. They'd be more for an 18x8

I'll bet money that your box doesn't even roll if you put a 225/45/18 on it. I have 225/40's and I have to modify a few things to not rub on turns but it still does a little on the inside. I'm also running a wheels with a +38 offset and I'm on Hotchkis springs. I wouldn't even suggest going with a 225/40 on the TRD wheels with the Tanabe's. The biggest tire you can run with the DF210's is a 215/40/18. Trust me when I tell you.

It'd be like drop the jacks and instant stuck, not going anywhere I had a visual go thru my mind when you first said it.

Yeah, the tires would clearance themselves. You'd just have to go up and down a few times to add more.
