Default new car !

Hello,
I am Philip, from Belgium. I have bought a IS series. Here in Europe we have it also in .diesel. So I have a 220 diesel (engine from Toyota) with 177bhp and 400 Nm torque. I know a pretty lame engine but gas prices here are terrible !
My former Lexus was a GS 300. I had it with 19 inch Azev wheels with front 245/35/19 and behind 275/30/19. I also had some Eibach springs on it.
Should i make some adjustments on the wheels or just place them?
Also Which springs do you guys recommend? or coilovers?
I have some pics of the wheels on the GS...

Thanks

First and foremost, Welcome to the Club Phil!

Second, I have Eibach springs and I love them. Handles better, yet is still comfortable with everyday driving.

Third, someone else have to answer your questions about wheel and tire sizes. I'm not the best person to ask for that.

And post pics of that IS!!!
