Default Opinions on 2011 RX350 19's

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-OEM-Lexus-RX-350-wheels-tires-lug-nuts-/221399701838?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item338c73594e&vxp=mtr
Whassssup Ladies and Gents,It's finally time to throw some rims on the GS and I was thinking about buying these 19" 2011 RX350 wheels off fleabay, the ad does say that there is 40% tread remaining on the tires, does anyone know how many miles these tires would last before I would need to get new ones? Also any opinions about these rims are welcomed. (By the way my car is black)

those tires are about 29" in diameter, if you have 2GS, your stock diameter is closer to 25.3", in my opinion, tires are way too tall.

I looked into 18" RX wheels on my 2GS, but found out that they're only 7.5 inches wide, when my stockers are 8 inches, so I decided against it.

Those wheels will work, but you'd have to stick to something shorter, like 235 35 19.

If I decided to go with 18's, not necessarily RX ones but any that would fit, should i look for 235 35 18 or a different size?

here's the site where you can plug in the tire size and tells you the diameter.

I'm FAR from being an expert, so I need all the help I can get.
I'm not sure what your setup is, or how you use your car, but for me, my GS is my daily driver and I can't be too radical with it, meaning whatever I do, I need to keep the overall tire diameter about the same, and I need some sidewall for ride characteristics.
