Smile ES Tires and Wheels

Hey guys, Im new and just popped my cherry and bought a 99 ES coach Edition I love it so far. I have the crap 15's on it and am struggling to find a good deal on a solid set of rims and best tires. What is everyones suggestions on what to get?

I am thinking stock 17"s from the IS350 but they are staggered with 245/45 on the back. Can this work and if not whats the best suggestion for the smoothest ride. Thanks.

Welcome to CL. FYI the is350 rims are 18's I have them and would HIGHLY not suggest putting them on it is a PITA to do. If you want a nice easy 17" lexus rim go with is300 17's but I would recommend you SEARCH around here some I don't know how many times myself and many other "og's" have answered these same questions.
