Color is super nice!! I would probably go with s-techs since you do ride a little higher then the 2wd. H-techs will probably bring you down to the factory 2wd height.

I like the color of your stock wheels. I think it matches with your car color pretty well

^ Its not recommended to run stagger setup on AWD. However there are debates that as long as you keep overall same diameter for the tires you'll be safe. As for the IS350 18' wheels, you need to purchase all 4 same size wheels like jimmy's in order to be safe. That finish looks really good! You gotta lower your awd, it makes a big difference!
