Default New owner tire question

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I picked up a used 2014 Lexus is 250 awd but it did not come with the factory tires and rims but vossen vf series 20 inch rims running 225 35zr20 in the front and 255 30zr20 in the back and I was wondering if this setup was okay for the car? Also in terms of the tires and rims are vossens known to be reliable and safe with daily driving? Thanks in advance

Noooo, don't drive those, I have a set I can give you for free and i'll even help out by taking those Vossen to be properly "disposed" off . I am sure we can meet up first thing tomorrow morning.

In all seriousness. Go to tirerack.com and do some research on what was stock, what upgrade sizes are possible. If it matches what you have, then all good. Now, if you still want, I have a nice set of 17" winters...

Lol I know the vossen vfs2 are expensive rims and the tires they're on are decent tires. According to the old staggered wheels on awd thread what I have going is fine since the difference is less than 1 percent from stock, I just wanted some feedback.
