Default Wheel Fitment Question

Hey guys i just bought my IS and now im looking for a set of wheels. Im looking at a rear wheel size of 18x9.5 with a 25 offset, I plan on lowering it but not crazy. will this fit without any crazy modifications. Im not trying to go hellaflush due to the fact that I carry children in it constantly and i dont need anything to happen while im driving.
So will it fit without crazy modification??? or should i do a 9.5 with a 38 offset?

+38 will be easier to fit than a +25 on a 9.5" width.

+25 is too agressive for the front run a 9+37 and you'll be good up front, your going to have to run a streched tire for the rear good luck
