Will 245/45/18 Fit On a IS250AWD?

My friend has a used set of DWS 245/45/18 lying around with decent thread left and I am due for a new set of tires. I know original size is 225/40/18. I am not lowered at all and am on stock suspension and height. My question is will these tires fit my car without any kind of rubbing. Any input and suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks CL!

Short answer: NO.
6% larger in circumference. Major throwing off of speedo and will rub the hell out of everything.

Im running 225/40/18 all around with 18x8.5 rims and have had no problems! I'm at stock height atm, but will be lowering on coils within a few months!

AWD tip: Don't stagger... there may be ways to balance the front and rears, but eventually it leads to problems. just my $0.02
