what he said, rota makes 18x9.5 18x10 wheels that can fit your 285 tires(but i really dun think 285 would look good). only thing is you may get bashed if you post pictures here

Ive seen more than a few IS350s with 285/35/18 wheels in the rear on a 18x10 wheel and it looks fantastic.

Also, what size tires would you guys run on a 18x9.5 or 18x10 wheels. 255/40/18 would look hilarious.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that those 285mm wide tires need to be mounted on 9.5-11 inch wheels only. 10 inch wide wheels would be ideal.

I'd stick with some O.Z. or BBS. Check the country of origin on the BBS. I know a lot of the O.Z. are made in Italy. If it was my car I'd likely buy either of those brands in a weight/style that's good. Since the wheels are going to be huge, you might want to go forged for durability/weight.
