Default 18' wheels on 3IS

Hello from Russia, Moscow
I need a piece of advice.
I'd like to put on my 3is 250 RWD 18' wheels (http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_mirabeau.php)
front: 18*8.5 35
rear 18*9.5 40
I think that wheels whith such sizes will hit wheelarch
In Moscow nobody can advise me.
Please help me, will these wheels fit 3is whithout any changes in suspention?

I'm no expert but I think you should be fine. Those are the sizes that F Sport version comes with although slightly different offsets. Why does your location say FL?

Maintenance manual for lexus 3IS says the following: for 18' wheels - width 8 (front) 8.5 (rear).

P.S. The forum's rules requires to name your location in USA

To be safe, go with this setup:

Wheels: Front 18x8, Rear 18x8,5

Tires: Front 225/40R18, Rear 255/35R18
