Default Rims suggestion

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie in here and with my 5 days old AWD IS250 I wanted to ask the expert before I do anything, I am planning to get a set of used 19 inches rims on craigslist and I am wondering if it will fit on my car or not here is the specs:
Kyowa KR206 19" x 7.5" wide with +45 offset, Polished black with machined chrome lip
Multi Bolt Pattern, Fits: 5x114.3, 5x100
with Nankang NS-2 - 225/35/R19 Z-Rated Summer Tires
planning to put it on, on summer sinces its snowing in Vancouver right now

ps:
would this look good on a crystal white IS?


thanks in Advance,
Sean

Those wheels aren't wide enough. The stock rims are 18" x 8", and 18" x 8.5" (for RWD)

7.5 ?? That is. Too thin and nankang are like the shi.ttiest tires u can get almost lol

Jus so u know .. I would NOT buy wheels from kxwheels that is my suggestion ..
I bought my mrrs off them for like 2750 with rubber and they orderd me the wrong rear wheel width
I order 19x 8.5 f. 9.5R and they gave me 8.5 all around after they mounted them I took my car around the lot for a quick test drive
And by the time I came back 5 mins later. I realized I wasent staggard like I was supposed to be
And asked for the correct wheel and they tol me too late I drove it off the lot the wheels are used now
And refused to give me a refund or what I originaly paid for (staggard set)

only 19"s will look good on the is. maybe some 18"s depends on the design of the wheels.

what about this offset:
19x8.5 52mm offset (front)
19x10 58mm offset (rear)
5x130
I guess this wont fit for sure right?
