19" IS350 Wheel size
Hello everyone,
I found a pretty good deal for an IS350 but the only thing is that the wheels are 19". Would I need to change all the tires to 18" after I buy it because I heard 19" wheels are not as comfortable and doesn't fit the best for an IS350. What do bigger wheels do? Pros/cons? Thank you!

If they're 19" wheels then you can't just fit 18" tires on them. I hope that's not what you meant lol
18" wheels can fit chunkier tires so they would be more comfortable, up to your own preference though.

The front wheels are 225/35ZR19 and the rear wheels are 255/35ZR19. What does this even mean? I am sorry I am new to this. Is this setup good on an IS350?

The second number (35) indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 35% of its section width.
The last number (19) indicates the size of tire for fitment on a given wheel, or rim. For you, 19 means 19 inch rims.
I currently run 235/35/19 on the fronts, and on the rears 275/30/19. My fronts rub currently over large bumps so I will be scaling back to a 225 when I need new tires and then try to re-install my front springs to see if I can be lowered on all 4 without rubbing. No issues with the rears and my rears are lowered.
