Default Wheel Fitment Help Please!!!

Hi my name is Brittany and I have a 2002 Lexus IS300 that is slammed. I'm wondering if this wheel fitment will work without any modifications.
The wheels are 18x8.5 +45 front and 18x9.5 +50 rear. Will this work? Thanks for all the help!

trust me it so easy for someone who knows what they are doing to roll the rear fenders. You could easily do 225/40 front and 245/35 rear. Post pics when done.

Brittany this will work. I am running Volk GTCs 19 x 8.5 +38 Face 1 225-35-19 in the front and 19 x 9.5 +38 Face 2 245-35-19 in the rear. I did have to do a slight roll but I have no issues.

Tire rack is extremely conservative, I say go with the 245, or 255 if you dont mind shaving the fender.
