Default Wider rims and tires?

A couple months in, I am really enjoying my 07 es350. I am not hot on the wheels, and would like to replace them.

My question is, if I stay within the Lexus family, and say get a set of 18x8 rims and tires will I run into any problems? My es350 has stock 17x7.5. I read around that you can, so long as all four are the same size.

For reference, I love the 10 spoke 17" IS350 rims and hope to find similar ones as 18s. If you have any suggestions on where to find some, would live to hear.

I have used the Lexus G-Spider rims from the GS350 on mine without any problems. They are 18 x 8 and I had 225/45 x 18 Yokohama tire's. I would not reccomend that tire as they were EXTREMELY noisy. Try to match the original 17's overall diameter (26.4) and sectional width (8.6) as close as you can to avoid problems.

I've got the 17" g-spiders, had them on since almost new. Got them from Sewell's. Love the look.
