Hi I have 2007 Lexus is250 rwd. I wanna get new rims my front tires are 225 40 18 92w. Rears are 255 40 18 99w. Rear tires are wider. Will the same size rims fit all around or do I need separate size for rears. Thanks just wanna make sure.

If I were you just get staggered if the wheels you like are offered in a staggered set up. I've seen a square set up on the tire sizes you have listed and I was gonna do that with some LFA Reps, but I ended up just getting staggered wheels.

Yes, when buying wheels there is a lot to take into consideration. The rears should be wider then fronts.

you can run a square setup even on RWD but just make sure you have all your specs and math done. but these cars run staggered wheels from the factory on RWD models
