Widest Rear Tire on ES350

Widest Rear Tire on ES350 (update)
First off let me start off by saying I searched, but I recently got a set of staggered IS350 wheels, and while I realize it's not ideal, my father wants to know if they will fit his 2012 ES350? The front tires im having put on are 225/45/18, but the tears are still good and are 255/40/18. Will the 255 fit in the back without rubbing issues? The other thread I saw regarding this size was for a 2013 ES, but nothing for a 07-12 ES. Any input would be great thanks.
So, I just went ahead and put the wheel on. The stats are 18x8.5, +45 offset, and 255/40/18.
Initially the tire rubbed while driving, the wheel was able to rotate, but not without the rotating rub noise against the strut. So then I put on a 5mm spacer I had and it was perfect. I still don't know if I'll end up putting them on, but this may be of help to people in the future. Attached are some pictures

Late now.
But. , currently I have staggard wheel too they are. Front 240/45/18 and rear 255/40/18 .
It fits... But it will look huge so your car basically goes really high and looks weird but I don't mind.
And rubbing fender I think only my fronts sometimes when I don't see pot holes or drive a little fast on speed bumps I get a rubbing sound on my front fender.
