Trying to figure out if p215/50r18 would fit
So I have a Lexus IS250 2015 and was wondering if the rims and tires of a Mazada CX that are p215/50r18 would fit on it. Squared up, the front and back are 225/40r18 - Staggered it is front 225/40r18 and 255/35r18. So is there a way of knowing if those rims with the tires would work on the lexus?

Whats the specs on the Mazda rims?
I have a feeling the Mazda rims are narrower than the Lexus rims judging by the tire size.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the tires and the rim are OEM - so they should be 5x114.3 - rim width is 7 - offset 50 section width 215. So the bolt pattern should fit. so these rims with the p215/50r18 tires fit and clear everything?

You would have to check the design of the rim to make sure it clears the front calipers since the offset is so high.
On a separate note, it's going to look a little odd...the rims are going to be tucked inside the fender a lot.
I'd use them for winter wheels, but that's me.

They look anything special, it's just rims my uncles have as a spare which he wants me to use because he bought them since they were a good deal. My apologies, didn't know how to downsize.

Also, I found another 4 rims with tires for $900 - only problem is that back is 255/40r18 not 255/35r18. Would this be okay? I think they're off an is350 and i'll be putting them on an is250

What size is the front rims?
They will fit, the sidewall is only slightly taller.

225 40 18 on the front tires have lots of life really good name on tire. On the rear is 255 40 18 lot's of life on the tires also really goood name tire. The rims are really clean and nice. 114.3 bolt pattern"
----
I think rear two tires are Michelin and the front two are ironman (which are a cheap brand?) and the rims look OEM
The other option is
Set of 17 inch stock Lexus is250 rims freshly powder coated gun metal grey with a near new set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires. 90% tread. Comes with tpms installed not a mark on them.
---
I don't have any experience with powdered rims, not sure if that's good or bad for their life and my is250 is atomic silver/Sonic Titanium.

Maybe he was hoping for a softer ride.
Ironman is a little lower on the quality brand scale.
Powder coating is great when done properly.
