Even with 225, you will rub with +42. If you get 235, you will just drive in a straight line cause your rear tires will be sticking out so far you can't even turn.

OFFSET EXPLAINED

Read the above and just remember +45 is pretty much the lowest offset you can get for the TL.

By the way, the GT5 is Racing Hart EVO meaning it's the cheaper version of the Racing Hart wheels and are made in Taiwan.

these are probably like the other evo wheels so for the 7.5" width, the offset is probably a +42mm. you will get some slightly rubbing with 225/40/18 tires and you will need to trim some of the bumper to alleviate rubbing.

the brand is actually called "RH Evolution" which is, like you said, a Racing Hart knockoff wheel. Many places mislabel them. They are all cast one piece wheels, i believe, but have a relatively nice finish and are much more affordable than the genuine article.

You can blame Dazz Motorsports for that!
