For clarification, ya'll are suggesting that the standard rims (fitted with 225/50-17) can also fit 245/45-18 tires?

FWIW, my 18" OEM rims have 245/40-18 tires.

I run 255's PS2's no stretching, no rubbing on my GS450h. (PERFECT SIZE AND RIDE)
But AWD might be different setup, not sure.
Let me clarify, I have 245's PS2's, but since PS2's are one size up, it's as if I have 255 with any other brand.

Bushwack, no the 17s wont accomodate 18s, we assumed he meant he would get 18 inch rims instead of 17s, and klex, many of use have bought gs350 18s. Look at this link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ighlight=gs350
