Default 03 lexus es300 wheel fitment confusion

Whats up everyone I'm looking to replace my 03 es300 16inch 6.5wide factory wheels with 2014 rx350 18inch 7.5wide? Don't recall what the offsets are sorry. If the rx350 wheels do fit what about the tire size? I was thinking of a 225/40/r18 tire size. I'm not trying to spend a couple G's on wheels n tires or run a spacer...my car is a daily just trying to go bigger with factory wheels that won't rub or break the bank. Thank you

215/45/R18 will be the closest to the original diameter. Use a tire size calculator I don't know about rubbing with the wheel/tire combination you want to run.

Not sure if the RX wheel is the appropriate offset - check that.

Keep your fat tires - they are comprehensively better.
I went to 18" wheels, then sold them and bought used 5 spoke 16" RSX alloy wheels - only 16.1 pounds each, light alloy, superior ride and strength.

Oh yeah and the wheels and tires each cost about half as much too.
The tires also have deeper tread.
