Hello!
I just picked up a 2014 is250 RWD. I am looking to upgrade from my stock 17s to 18s. What size rims and tires would you recommend on this car? Something that womt rub or break the bank but also looks good. Thanks!

As to your question, it depends what you are looking for.
As you currently have the 17's, they are a square fitment...meaning both front and rear rims are the same size.
You can go with a staggered 18 inch fitment...rear rims wider than the front...or a square 18 inch setup...same all around.
Depending on whether you want staggered or square with then determine offset and size.
As an example, you could do an 18 inch square setup of 18X8.5 with a +35 offset. Or, you can do an 18 inch staggered setup of Front:18x8.5 +35 and Rear: 18x9.5 +40. This is just one example of each...there are plenty of options.
Finish of the rim will depend on what you prefer vs what the car color is.

Maybe you can explain the specs:
5x100? The IS bolt pattern is 5x114.3, or sometimes referred to as 5X4.5
18x8 = Height and width of the rim
73.1 = Center bore of the aftermarket wheel
56.1? The IS hub is 60.1
45 = Offset of the rim
Or did you do a hub spacer and change the bolt pattern/hub size?

Was thinking of running 18x9.5 +30 offset with 255/35/18 on rsr superdowns and wanted to know if it would clear without any fender work

19 inch Vertini wheels
19 inch wheels: FRONT 19x 8.5 +35 235/35 REAR 19x 9.5 +40 265/30 lowered on RSR downs. Very happy with the fitment! Springs were just installed so it needs to settle a bit.

i have a question for these BBS LM size im looking at. Will Front 18x8 or 8.5 or 9 +23 and Rear 18x9 or 9.5 +27 fit with any issue? These are reverse mounted. so if they do have fitment issue. it can be mounted back regular back into +30ish.

Currently the offsets are on the low side which would suggest rubbing issues.
If you reverse mount them, the front should be ok...the rear is a question mark. The offset would still be on the low side.

Do you plan on lowering the vehicle? And what size tires are you looking at?
