Hello there
Both will fit fine, 235 45 will give more cushion than the OEM 245 40s, 225 45 is same sidewall height as oem 245 40...

Hi,
I put 245-45-18 on my...... It feels and ride perfect(it touches the inside fender a little when turned the whole way but no major problematic concern ).... However, 225-45-18 is good too but it may look a bit thin and of course will save you a lot of gas.... 225 is thinner than 245 and therefore it has less fiction on the road. You will the like the ride.

Is your ride lowered? Aggressively? I wonder why 245-25-18 tire with OEM wheels will touch the inside fender?

Re-read the post. I don't think it says anywhere that a 225-45-18 would rub on the fender.

lexus actually recommends 225/40/19 on their 19" wheels, so 225/45/18 would definitely be fine.
