What site is that? I was planning on stretching tires, but I can always raise the car if I need to. (On coils)

Design of the wheel play a huge role.
A flat wheel face design will have a much thicker backpad but a concaved wheel design will have a shorter backpad.
So for instance, when a IS350 customer wants Forgestar F14, I usually recommend going with the semi concave profile in the front but a IS250 can run a deep concave to super deep concave since their brake calipers are much smaller and can run highest offset offered with the concavity profile given with that wheel.

You still haven't sent me a photo of your front brakes and haven't confirmed if they are the standard floating brakes or the large standard F Sport brakes.

Front brakes
He's not wrong. Just letting you know that you can get them to fit but just be ready for fender work, tire stretch and camber. You can practically get anything to fit if you put the work into it.

Before I pull the trigger, are you 110% sure I won't have brake clearance issues? If I do is there a shop in WA state I can return them to? Or ship them back?

watch out for the rear. it rubs very easily. People have trouble with +40 range with meaty tires (265-275 width range).
It is not easy to do any type of pull or roll in the rear without making it look ugly due to the design of the body line sloping inward from the factory.
