Default Is350 wheels

I just install a set of is350 on my 93 ls400 and my question why does the front end seem higher? (yes, I have a dent on the q-panel) The specs on the wheels are Fronts are 18x8+45 225/40/18 Rear 18x8.5 +50 255/40/18

because you're running a skinnier+smaller tire in the front.

That's what I Was thinking, but they are both 40 series. What front tires should I get?

225/45-18 is closer to the same OD as the rear tires, but both are still not the same as stock, for which you'd be looking at 245/45-18 or equivalent. will look beefy though.
