Default rims and tires

I have a 2007 lexus IS 250 with 95k miles. It is time for new front brake pads, rotors, and unfortunately tires. Right now I have after market 19 inch rims on the car with low profile tires which is how I bought the car. Tires size is front : 235/35/R 19 91w and rear:275/30/R 19 96w. I have a few questions. One can I put tires on there with more cushion (thickness) I am not a fan of low profile? Or since tires are staggered can I switch tires to be all the same size so I can do proper tire rotations and if so how will this affect the drive? Or if any one is selling their factory 18 inch rims for this car with tires how much? I've grown out of the phase of caring about how my car looks. Would rather have tires on there that would last longer than three years and not having to spend $1200 for AL newtires.

You spend too much on tires lol what brand is your wheels. Most people will trade their oem for a good set of aftermarket wheels.

For junder $1000.00 you could get some very nice Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires that's would be the best fit for your car. These tires are all season with a treadware of 540..
These would the best bang for your buck,,,

Good Luck...
