Default would 245/50/18 fit on my lexus is350

hello i have a 08 lexus is350 and i picked up a set of blizzak winter tire, size is 245/50/18, i was wondering if this is ok and would fit on all 4 wheels of the car. ??? this is going on stock wheels which are 225/45/18 front and 255/45/18 rear. i think front width of rim is 8 inches and rear is 8.5.
If anyone can let me know if it would be okay for 245/50/18..

thanks a lot

Stock size are 225-40 and 255-40 not 45 series. I'm say no on the fitment unless you don't care about the rubbing noise ripping your inner fender. I run 225-45-18 all around and it rubs on turns.

Even in the rear, the wheel will be a little more than 1.5" taller than the OEM setup. Can you return the tires?

If possible, I'd sell the set and get the right sizes for both front and rear.
