Default tires and rim size

Looking to buy these for my IS250 RWD.

Currently has 18x8 and 18x8.5 stock ride height

My concern is that these tires are way to big and will touch the car when turning or under heavy suspension use.


Does anyway know if these will be a problem for me or if you have experienced rims and tires this big. would be nice to know how much worse the ride comfort becomes too.

tires I want to purchase: (previously on a is250, owner says no problem but I feel suspicious)
20 INCH NICHE CIRCUIT M110
Front- 20x9 with 255 front tires
Rear -20x10 with 275 rear tires
Falken FK 452 Tire have 90 % tread
Sold the car have the rims left over , there is some curb rash.

What size are the tires? 255/275 doesn't tell you the diameter of the tire. Although even a 255/30 is big for the front of the car; I'd be suspicious as well.

I wouldn't get them at all. 255 is way too big for the front! That should be your rear size if you're gonna be lowered also
