Exclamation Urgent: wheel sizing

Hey guys, I just got a 2016 Lexus IS 300 F sport, Neb ula grey with red interior. Was looking for new wheels. I have a few in mind but I'm unsure with the wheel & tire size fitting. Currently I just have stock with square set up. I would still like to keep the square set up. Would these wheels in the link below fit the Lexus? And If they do, what size tires would I need? I currently have 225/40/18. A friend told me that I should go up to 245 because the wheels are wider. But then I'm afraid if I go up to 245 in the front, that it would rub. I don't plan on lowering my car much, maybe .5in - 1in at the most. What do you guys think? LMk, much appreciated.Links to wheels I'm deciding from, I am aware that it is from a subaru site lol. thttp://www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru...i#.XLg7xolKjmg

How wide do you plan on going? If you're doing a 9/9.5 you can get away with a 235.

If you want to take a look at our wheel collection, we can set you up with the perfect fitment for your needs. We do custom machining in-house, so we can do virtually anything you need.

Either way, I am happy to answer any further questions
