Default Changing wheels on Road Magnet Springs

Hi, so this past summer I decided to treat myself and bought myself a beautiful 06 is250 RWD
To my surprise the car came stock with 16" wheels. To my understanding I thought they always came with the 17" wheels but for the price offered i couldn't refuse this deal. Lets just say the current wheels don't look very "lexus"

Anyways, so when i bought the car it was already lowered on Road Magnet springs and are still on stock shocks (anyone know when these will need to be changed?" He claims that he's only had the springs for about 10,000km but with no record proof its kind of hard to believe haha.

Now heres where my question comes in I found a deal on craigslist for a set of 18" XXR 530.
They are:
Offset: +33
Size: 18x8.75
and are wrapped in Falken ZE612
Tire specs are 225/40/18

I'm wondering if these will fit on my IS250 especially since its lowered on Road Mags (i believe the drop is ~2") Will these rub/fit?
Another option i have is to grab a set of stock ISF 18" off another Craigslist user

I will really appreciate you guy's feedback
Thanks,
Ryan

1. base rwd IS250 in Canada does come with 16" wheels from factory
2. you're rwd, get staggered wheels
3. those will fit, but again -- get staggered wheels
