225/40/18 on stock ls suspension

Would those size tires do a decent job at filling the wheel gap or would I look even more lifted than I do now with stock 15's?

That doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, but it's still no good.

I'll buy some springs before putting on the wheels.

Thanks for the pic.

Once again, that really don't look that bad at all. It definitely fills out the gap a bit, but it's still there. Fills our big wheel wells nicely as well.

It definitely looks better on 18's than 15's regardless of the suspension. I plan on lowering it a little at some point though
