Default 18" wheels on 99 ls

I recently upgraded my lexus. Sold 1991 LS400 and bought 1999 LS400.
I have set of summer wheels. Rims are from IS 350 2006, 18x8, offset 45 front, 18x8.5 offset 50 rear. On the 1991 I had tires 225/40R18 and 255/35R18, but these are 6% too small for my new lexus. I put the wheels on the new one and the rims fit. But I need to upgrade tires to 245/45R18 and 275/40R18 to match the height on stock tires (225/60R16).
Did anyone tried these sizes of the tires on LS 400 99? I worry they won't fit.

dont run 245/45 if you plan on lowering the car. if you want to keep it at stock height you shouldnt have a problem.
