Default Need help with low offset rims!!

I need help guys! I've been trying to figure out if a set of 18x8.5 et28 & 18x9.5 et23 would fit my is250 awd with stock height. Yes I've done researches on the fourm and find no match nor reply. Can someone please tell me what has to be done to have them fit and functional? Please feel free to post some pictures so I can admire and see how it will turn out! Thanks in advance!!!

The wheels will fit OK but you can't run Staggered wheels on AWD unless you find the proper tires combo that matches the OVERAll Diameter.

If your not gonna lower it to cover the awd gap. I suggest better offset wheels and not buy them cause there cheap. Giving the height of the awd it gonna look off with the rims and tires poking past your fenders like a jeep .

Thanks for the input guys! What tire size combo will make this work? 225/40/18 and 255/40/18?

These are my dream rims and it's really really hard to find a proper offset less than $2000 since they are discontinued lol. Maybe you're right and spent my money on some coil before rims.
