215/40R18's, 15mm spacers, and Coil Overs
Will this set up work? Does anyone have any pictures? My rims and tires should arrive tomorrow and I am in the process of ordering a set of sport coil overs. I want to get the spacers to fill all of the wheel gap and push the rubber out to give it that stance but I don't want to fight rubbing. Has anyone had any problems with this set up?
Cheers,

Depends on the offset (et) and width of the wheels plus how low you go.
On my 06 MCS I have; 7x17 et52 wheels, 15mm spacers, 215/40-18 tires, and JCW Springs (about 5/8" drop). Thus, the overall offset is 37mm (52-15). I get slight rubbing on the rear wheel arch and plastic wheel well liner when the suspension is loaded.

All I can tell you is on my 06 cab with JCW everything, when I put 215/40-18's on, I had to remove my 15 mm spacers. The rims are factory black JCW rims. Don't know the offset off hand. And, of course, mine's a first gen car.
I'd set it up without the spacers first, which will probably work and then maybe take some measurements before investing in spacers.

I am definately expecting the ride to stiffen up but i want the additional clearance so I can get a nice drop when my c/o come. Also with the T1R's there was like a 2lb difference per tire between sizes. I chose the 205 because I only have a 7" rim and I am not a fan of the mushroom look. When ordering I did not see a 205/40 option, unless i missed something Toyo doesnt make a tire in that size.

So I got the tires and wheels put on and should have pictures shortly. Going from the run flats the 35 ratio tires still feel amazing. The T1R's are incredible, it feels like I am getting the handling/steering benefits of the sport mode w/o having it on. All in all I am stoked and as I said I will have pics up shortly.
