Default wheelsize/springs question

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 off welcome to CL! On the suspension, if you have money than I would definitely get coils, I recommend JIC's or Tein's, I favor JIC's. And on the wheels if they fit why not keep them?!?! This way you dont have to spend money on wheels, but if they dont fit, well....you know the answer. Hope that helps. Congrats on the car!
