Depends on the tires and the suspension you've got, or are planning on getting.
Since its an 18" I'm guessing stretched tires with a 40 series.
If it's slammed, you'll wanna shave the rear fenders and roll the fronts. Depending on camber, maybe even a slight fender pull.

If you just have a moderate drop, a simple fender roll will work pretty well.
The front at that spec should look really nice. The rear will poke a bit. But IMO, with some camber...Will look awesome. I'm in to the aggressive look though.

Does anyone know what offset would be flushed with the fenders on a 9.5inch wheel? I'm suspecting +30 but can anyone confirm this?

Your off set is pretty high. So u could run a bigger tire like a 235/40/18 in the front and a 255/40/18 in the back. Or even a 245/35/18 on a 265/35/18. U should roll your fenders it's better to be safe the sorry.

+35 will be better. Those spec will work but you might need a roll.

You should get 19 if you can for GS.. but as far as offsets above the 18x10.5 +20 will be better

Anybody know if a 18x9 +32 running 225/40R18 will fit a IS250 AWD on H&R springs? Or 18x9.5 +40 on 225/40R18. THanks

Default IS 250 Tires

I have a 09' IS250 and am looking for all new tires. The stock wheels made it 36k and I am looking looking to find a tire that gets a little more mileage. I have spoke with some places and Michel tire had mentioned changing the size of the tire.

Currently: 225/45R17
To: 215/50-17

My question is... will this have any affect on the warranty? And will this change the handling of the car in anyway?

Lexus has quoted me $800 for tires and this is currently out of my budget. (Reason why this guy suggested to change the size)

The tire I'm considering in the alternate size: Bridgestone Turanza w/serenity plus BL 75,000 warranty. Thoughts? Thank you.

As long as u get a alignment it doesn't matter what size tire u run its will drive perfect. I was running a 225/40/18 in the front and a 255/40/18 in the back. 800 for Tires is crazy! I wouldn't spend more then 600 on a good set. Where do u live? I can get tires a cost.
