Default Choosing Wheels for 2IS350 RWD

Hi everyone. New to the forum. Bought a 2006 Lexus IS350 RWD a week ago and am in love. However, the car needs new tires and some of the OEM wheels are in pretty rough shape... so I need new wheels.

Trying to decide if I should go with the same 18" stock wheel size or go up to a 19". Knowing nothing about wheel size and tires, I'm having a tough time trying to decide.

In addition, I have been looking at some higher quality replica wheels. I can't afford brand name wheels and I know that often, replicas can be pretty poor quality. After some research, I found these: http://www.redline-motorworks.com/Ve...b-19-5x112.htm

I really like how these look and the reviews seem to indicate they are very high quality replicas. I am wondering if they would be appropriate for my car. If so, what tires would fit on them?

Sorry for the noob questions but really could use some help.

Thanks.

Stock suspension? You can go up to a 20 inch and have no rubbing... Up to you though. I'm still riding on stock suspension on 20s.

I'm running 245/30/20 front and 285/30/20 rears with pretty much default offset... Can't help with offsets though... Check in with will these wheels fit thread if you have any qs

Okay, after further research, this is what I picked (minus the BMW logo, of course!):
