18" IS250 split five spoke with 225/55/18's or do I have to get different tires? A guy is selling these but he changed the tires cause he was going to use it on a van.

Thanks PlatES300 that's what I was thinking but hoping just maybe I could use those tires now I'll need to sell those and buy new ones.

I know that's what I was thinking but the guy says they are IS250 rims. I'll know when I go and check them out.

Thanks for your help guys.

^If they are like mine you will need 15mm spacers in the rear with longer studs and 5mm in the front.
