I wouldn't worry about rubbing at all. Many have that rim/tire setup on the rear of lowered cars and it doesn't rub. If you lower the front it might rub though.
Curious though, why do you have bigger tires in the front? Just seems a little odd, if anything people put bigger tires in the rear. And by bigger I mean overall circumference.

opps fat fingers, I have 35 profile tires all around .
thanks for making me feel confident about my setup. Now I can drive without being so paranoid!

Can I rotate my front tires with my rear wheels? I was told by the dealership that they did not rotate my tires as part of my 25k service because of staggered wheels. As far as I know, all 4 of my wheels are the stock 17" rims with the same size 225/45R17 tires. This seems to me that my tires would be able to be rotated, at least with swapping the fronts with the rears.
Am I misunderstanding something? My rears are currently at 4/32" and my fronts are at 7/32", so this would seem helpful to have them rotated.

you can always rotate if they are the same size on all four corners.

Why does my triangle maintenance light come up a few hundred miles after i got my oil changed and deleted the maintenance indicator in the infotainment. does deleting suggested maintainance things like coolant and brake oil mater to that light? my car is at 53,000 miles, do I need to actually change the coolant?

It may look a little odd though.
You would use the tire specs for the F Sport front tire.

The other way around...8.5=+35 and 9=+40.
If you want the front to be flush as well, then your 8 inch rim should be +30 to +25. That way it will look flush with the fender compared to the rear.

But anyway, resetting whichever appropriate indicator should remove that light - you might want to check out all of the maintenance areas that you can set, since most are defaulted to factory settings which can be changed. You may have missed one. Most of the indicators simply rely on a preset mileage; once the preset mileage is reached, it throws that indicator light to inform you.

Quick question, i noticed on other Lexus models the driver's door key hole has a cover to hide the key hole insert. When you need to insert the key you just have to pop the cover off. Want to know if they make that for the IS?
And for touch up paint does Lexus sell the clear coat? I have the body color touch up and want to know if it is necessary to apply a clear coat while touching up.
