Default Square Setup Lexus IS250 AWD 18X8.5 245/40r18

Looking at a set of wheels and tires for a good deal. Curious if they will fit I keep searching and find nothing so I am assuming they won't?

Does anyone have this setup?

18X8.5 Enkei Rajins offset +35 All around.

Dunlop 245/40r18

Never got the 18X8.5 and the 245/40 r18. I don't think they would fit. Stuck with the standard square setup for AWD which is 225/40 r18 on 18X8 wheels

I ran 245/40R17 for a few years, I would think 245/35R18 would work well if tires exist in that size.

your biggest problem is the offset. +35 offset will fit for sure but at +50, it will likely scrape.

FYI there is a member running 255/35/18 with 18x8.5 +35 on an IS350.

Is your car lowered?

The original question was would 18X8.5 245/40r18 fit an AWD model
I was considering spacers to make them closer to +35 but spacers are expansive especially 15mm
So I didn't buy them. Also I heard 245/40r18 do not work in the front and they rub. 245/35R18 or 255/35/18 may work but that wasn't the question.
My car is not lowered as I live in Canada (A particular cold part as well).
I stock with stock diameter 225/40/r18 and they are great.
