I wanted to do this too as my rear tires last twice as long as the fronts without rotating them.
Problem is the height of the rear tires. Best size to go with is 245/40/18 all around but the shorter tire in the rear will make odometer higher than actual miles.

Will it be difficult to avoid rubbing during full lock steering with 235/40/18 Michelin PSS up front? I already have a heat gun but I'm not familiar with the technique mentioned. Was planning to get 235 front / 265 rear on stock rims the next time I get new tires for my 07 IS350. I'm concerned that the neutral handling balance I currently have with F-Sport sways might be thrown off if I do 225 front / 265 rear. I'm at stock ride height with no plans to go lower.

A set of FIGS #2 LCA bushings should fix that and pay for themselves with longer tire life if you plan to keep the car for a while, assuming they are wearing faster on the inside edges than the rest of the tire.

Can anyone comment on this?

Anyone running Continental DWS 235/40/18 up front on stock rims? If so, does it rub?

Im running 235/40/18 bridgestone re760 on the front on stock wheels with zero rubbing. Im also lowered about 1.5" and have 10mm wheel spacers.
