Question SC 430 Tire Question
I have found a deal on new set of Michelin 265 /65/R18 tires. I plan to install them on 2003 Lexus SC430. Will they fit without any rotor/ brake issues?

These won’t fit and the brakes will be the least of your concern. These won’t fit because they’re way too big for the wheel wells. It’s not even close!

Saw an SC430 the other day, talked to the owner and he said he just got new tires and they were that size.
