Ha I went to do the fender tab mod today on my is350(which I bought used), and what do you know? It had already been done by the previous owner.

is 265/45r18 too big for rear? I'm also thinking about 235/40r18 on front.....i dont know about offset yet. any recommendation?

http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_527.shtml
265/45-18 is too tall for the rear. go w/ 265/40-18.

235/40-18 up front is fine.

as far as offsets, given a square set-up (same widths for front/rear wheels) something in the mid 30's will allow you to run said suggested tire sizes.

I just order some Work wheels fronts 20x9 +30 (+25 w/ 5mm spacer required for BBK) with a 2" lip and rear 20x10 +25 with a 3.5" lip. Anybody know if this will be flush and only will require to cut or roll the fenders?!?! Need to buy tires still any recommendations on size? Going for a flush look not really a "Hella" flush style

it will be flush, and will require shaving/rolling the fenders.

my guess on tires would be 225/30-20 + 245/30-20.

is250 or the is350 calipers?

the offsets are already aggressive enough that any spacers would lower the offsets even more. the lower the offset, the more fender work you'll need (not a matter of "if" but "how much").

you'll have to check w/ the wheel's manufacturer to find out if your proposed wheel specs clear the is350 calipers.

in the event those wheel specs don't clear the is350 calipers, you can always run spacers. i believe the maximum size spacer you can run up front is 10 mm.

235/40-18 should be fine.

is350 calipers are noticeably larger and (iirc) wider than is250 calipers.

camber is not adjustable from the factory, and to make camber adjustable there aren't many options - i can only think of one for the front and one for the rear.

please take the time to look and search through the 2is suspension subsection for more information regarding camber for the 2is.

the wheels should fit just fine, but 265/45-18 is way too tall.

for comparison's sake, staggered oem 18's run 255/40-18 in the rear.

try staggered oem 18 tire sizes (225/40-18 + 255/40-18).

mine are 22540R18 front and 2540R18 rear OEM. Different rims may require modifications.

Will it be ok for front with same 18x8.75? with 225? 235?
I'm worried because I think stock front is 8in wide..and I'm putting a lot wider size

you can run a square set-up. only difference is the tires on the front wheels vs. the rear wheels.

so given a square set-up of 18x8.75 +35, you can try 225/40-18's first to see if you have more space, then 235/40-18 if you actually do.
