Aspect ratios of 30 and 35 are all relative to section width. Meaty tires and decent stretch are two different things that usually don't go together. Wheels specs will help a lot when sourcing tires.

those wheels probably aren't going to work on your car, especially with spacers...

BMW's typically run pretty low offsets, in the 20-25 mm range, then adding a spacer puts you in the 0'ish range, where most wheels for any Lexus are in the 35-45 mm range...

you aren't going to get meaty tires and stretched...

which 745Li wheels are we talking about?

I'm with MITSUGUY on this one, seems like this is not the best fit. Also, we can't recommend tires if we don't know anything about the vehicle. Perhaps you could provide the year & model of your Lexus and even the year & model of the BMW the wheels the wheels came from then we can better make suggestions.

just had a chance to look and I see about a dozen different wheel setups that could have came on a 745... they are almost all multispoke... I see everything from 18x8 to 21x10...

as Zig said, more info is needed... at minimum a picture of the wheels, but it would be better if we had diameter, width and offset... as well as what type of Lexus it is going on...

with those offsets and wheel widths, you are probably going to have to run pretty narrow tires, like that car... those are probably 235/35-19 rear and 225/35-19 front... at this, it may still rub... get the thinnest adapter you can, for sure...

those wheels should be +24mm offset... take your 1" spacer and you are at -1mm offset... going to be hard to fit, but the more positive you can get it, the easier it is going to be...

That 1st picture looks shopped and judging by rear fender flares on the 2nd and 3rd photos you need way more than a slight pull to make that work. Those fenders on the 3rd photo are some major body work. I would let those wheels go and keep your sanity.

here ya go... http://www.stancenation.com/2010/06/...oasts-vip-duo/

Wheels:
junction produce scara japan
19×9.5 +20 225/35/19 falken fk452
19×10.5 +24 245/35/19 falken fk452

using that as a baseline, and seeing that his fenders are rolled and pulled quite a bit, you are going to need another inch, give or take...

hey trickz, spoke to you yesterday on the potential trade but after doing some research, and with the 25mm adapters, the offset will be -1. they are 19 9/10 +24 all around. meaning there would be significant poke, dont get me wrong, i love poke when and if the tires are stretched and not stock sized. anyway, i'll hit you up to see if you're down to do some test fitting.
