    225/40/18! You need lower profiles dude. You use 40 with 16's and you got 18's lol.

    Ideally, on a Corolla, you' have to go with 225/30... but yah... but damn, those are wide and high sidewalls for a Corolla :S

    Plus, if its rubbing on your strut, the offset is off, try getting the rims in another offset or getting spacers...

    it hits the thing the spring sits on. thats the main problem. im lookin into 2" spacers cuz it only hits by a few mm. do they make smaller aftermarket perches??

    Not only lower profile tires, but you'll need 205 width tires with 45mm offset rims to fit beneath the fenders if you're lowering the car, otherwise, expect rubbing whenever you have people in the back.
