I really want 18's for the smoother ride, I cant find anything in stock around me that I like. I found these but I am worried they won't fit because of the offset.
2006 is250
XXR 527
18x8.75 20mm 225/40/18
18x9.75 20mm 255/40/18
I am on stock suspension, will this fit? I plant to do a mild Eibach pro kit drop later on.

Once you're dropped it'll have some natural camber just roll your rear fenders and pull maybe get a thinner tire because I believe 255 wont be stretched enough to fit once you are low.
I had 9.5 + 20 rear and I was running 225/40/18 and it barely cleared. Fronts SHOULD be okay but roll it just in case.

Had a free weekend to get these done, prepped and painted:
XXR 521
18x10 +25 all around
225/40
255/40
I didn't see anyone with this fitment but some say it wouldn't work to well but everything is okay with minimal effort.
Static on Megan springs, no roll or pull, waiting for BC coilovers to adjust the front, slight rub on rears on harsh dips. Rears sit flush but will change when I get new tires and the fronts poke out about 1/4" with 1/2" of back spacing. I hope most would use these specs to gauge how much you can go on springs for IS250 rwd.

Quick fitment question....
I would like to go 18 x 9 for both front and rear. Will there be any rubbing issues if I go with F sport/Eibach springs? I am considering either 255/40 or 225/40. I know some will feel like 255 is too big but I'm first curious about any rubbing issues? I feel like the 225 may be a bit stretch on a 9" wheel.
Also, what is the amount of drop from stock ride height if I go with F Sport/Eibach springs?
Thanks! (long time reader, first time poster)
