I don't have any good pics of the entire car but you can find a few more here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7525353-post67.html
So, 18 x 10 +40 (front) / 18 x 11 +40 (rear)?? no rubbing issue??

Rear is also 18x10 +40 but with 285/35/18 tire. My rear fenders are rolled flat and the bumper tab is trimmed. I only rub slightly with 4 adults in the car.
