Default Wheel specs help

Hi guys

I got a 09 IS250 AWD dropped on H&R springs (1.4f, 1.3r)

I'm currently still running stock wheels of 17x7.5 +45

I'm looking for set of new wheels and have some questions about the specs

I saw a set that's 18x9 +35.........will i rub when turning with wheels this wide? or is it safer to go 8.5........

also, any other advice would be appreciated as well since i'm not very knowledgeable with this kind of stuff

thanks so much!

EDIT:

So just found some MB Weapons for very decent price. Planning to get 18x9 +38, with 225/40R18 tires...would that be good combination? thanks

You'll be fine. Anything below + 30 then your gonna have issues depend on height and rims. Gl

If u run a 215/40/18 you'll be fine. I'm running a 19x9.5 +22 with a 225/35/19 slammed.
