Default 2012 RX350 wheels on 1999 GS400

Hello - I posted this on the 2nd Gen GS forum as well but wanted to make sure I had my bases covered. I'm a NOOB when it comes to wheels, I've only ever had stock wheels on my cars. Would there be any issues putting the following on my car?

2012 RX350 Wheels
245/40/R18
Pirelli Cinturato P7
35mm Offset
5 x 114.3 / 4.5

Would I be able to use current lugs? I have 235/45/R17 on chrome wheels now, seem to get bent pretty often.

Any advice is appreciated.

Well, what you are wanting to put on should fit just fine, no issues at all, however, you will have less sidewall, resulting in more easily bent wheels, not less...

Assuming you have factory wheels currently, your current lug nuts will work just fine as well.

Thanks for the response, sounds like appearance would be the only reason to make the change.
