Wheel fitment question
I searched and couldn't find the exact answer Im looking for.
I plan on running 225 front and 255 rear tires. Will a 18x9.5 be too wide for the 225, I dont mind a little stretch but not too much... as for the rears, 10.5 will work on the 255 I've heard.
Fitment question:
Choice 1 18x8.5 +15 on 225/40/18 18x9.5 +12 on 255/40/18
Choice 2 18x9.5 +12 on 225/40/18 18x10.5 +15 on 255/40/18
Choice 3 18x9.5 +22 on 225/40/18 18x10.5 +22 on 255/40/18
I've verbally asked a few wheel and Lexus guys and nobody seems to be able to provide a straight answer. Car is only lowered on F-sport springs and I might go air one day but nothing lower for now.
Much appreciated.

for starters, you'll need fender work (roll + light/medium pull) for all three choices. that includes relocating the fender tabs.
secondly, your proposed ride height is crucial. f-sport springs vs. air suspension are two different stories, since ride height determines tire-to-fender edge clearance. but for the sake of discussion, let's go ahead and assume that you don't plan on air suspension any time soon, meaning those f-sport springs will stay in your 2is for a good long time.
and since you've decided with 225/40-18 + 255/40-18, in order to run lower-offset wheels, you'll need to get a good stretch out of them in order to have the proper clearance - both while parked/not moving and moving.
long story short, go with option #3 (18x9.5/10.5 +22).
