Default Help with Wheel specs and Spacers

g Heres pics of the car

I need help modding my is250 im looking for some good offset looking wheel specs for some 18 in rims and 235/45/18 tires... maybe want to upsize my tires and rims from stock 17” to 18” and my stock tires to something that will give me a little bit more meat than the regular tires on stock suspension and stock fenders,

Spacers
i kind of found some good spacers and sizes for the car but would i have to get extended lugs or any extra materials if i were to put on the spacers on aftermarket wheels

I've read that 18x9 +35 would be flush fitment. Depending on the size of the spacer you may or may not have to run extended studs. Spacers reduce lug nut engagement unless you get the adapter versions that bolt onto the existing studs and you bolt the wheel to the spacer. I personally like to drive hard on some given days so I'm going to run ARP extended studs (IS300 versions fit our car) for safety and peace of mind.

235/45/18 might be little bit too much tire on the front causing slight rubbing against plastic fender liner on full turn. 235/40/18 should be ok, depending if the tire is square or rounded.

What size tires should be good to run with that wheel setup?
