Tire setup
So I'm due for new tires and was wondering if I switch my current staggered setup on my 14 IS350 AWD with factory rims to one of the below options:
Option 1) All four tires at P275/40ZR18
Option 2) Fronts: 225/40/18 Rears: P275/40ZR18
Please let me know. Thanks.

You can not run 275/40R18 on the rear on a AWD vehicle.
You need to maintain your OD as close as possible.
There is a 1" difference between 275/40R18 and 225/40R18
You will destroy your diff.
You can run 265/35R18 on the rear with 225/40R18 but not 275/40R18.
You can run 275/40R18 all around because its the same OD.
