If your wheels have the same offset as those of the IS (you said 45, but you did not say if it were your wheels, or the stock offset info that you got), then you're good.

If you don't know the offset of your current wheels, then either do your research on the wheels you have, or try to get them fitted on the new IS. You won't know until you (1) research your current wheels, or (2) try them on the IS.

Good luck and congrats on the car!

The tires you have are definitely the wrong size. What is the width of the wheels? Maybe you can have the stock tires mounted up on your old wheels.

that offsets pretty high for a 245, people with 245 aftermarkets have mid 30s as their offset and they still rub on the plastic in the wheel well, its gonna rub more since +45 is deeper in
