Default Gspiders 18x8 or 8.5???

Quick question, i leased a 09 250 awd and wanted to go with gpsyder rims. yea i know its better to stay same rim/tire all around. would it be a bad/good idea to go with the 18x8.5 all around? I was thinking going with the 8.5 with 245/40/18 tires.. My drop is gonna be small, the tein htech springs. i dont wanan go crazy, its only a lease


reason why i might wanna go wit the 8.5 is when my lease is up i was thinking maybe upgrading to a lexus gs


thanks for any input

Your going to rub is the only issue with the 8.5. if your gonna put them on the GS you will need the 8.0

The GS specs are as follows.. (on all 4 corners)

18 x 8.0 with 245/40ZR18 tires

I think some of the IS250 AWD members run 225/40/18 on all 4 corners...
