Default IS250 RWD Wheels on AWD Car

Sorry if it's been discussed before I'm in the process of getting an 2012 Awd IS250 since I already have a 2010 Rwd IS250 and love the staggered setup. I was wondering if I could swap the wheels before selling the 2010. Thanks

The wheels will fit fine, however the RWD tire sizes are not appropriate for the AWD.

I assume you have 18's? If so, I would consider running 225/40R18 for the front and 255/35R18 for the rear.

Yes, you need match the overall diameters between the front and the rear.
