Default Tire size for IS350 OEM 18" rims

Hey,

Looking to buy myself a set of used OEM 18" rims, and need some tires to go along with it. To the people who have these rims, what size are your tires (for the staggered setup) and what tires are you running? I want to buy some comfortable all season tires but would like to stay on budget as well (preferably under $600-$700 total for all 4 tires combined, of course the lower the better). Cheers!

^ staggered oem 18's from the factory come in 225/40-18 in the front and 255/40-18 in the rear.

there's no reason to run 255/35-18.

Yeah for an OEM set up, no point in running anything other than the OEM tire size.

^

for 255/40-18 on an 8.5"-wide wheel, the sidewalls are upright, but said size does not have the donut look.

pavelelkPL's post is 0-for-2. at this point. i would question if he really knew what he was suggesting.

sorry couldn't find a better picture, it's also hard to capture that with my cheap cell phone camera that i have. Just so you get the idea, the fronts and rear will the same.

Maybe not to you. Besides who really cares what tires I'm running.
