Default Lexus wheel spec

Hey guys. I currently drive a 18 Lexus is300 AWD Fsport if that matters. I am currently looking at a set of wheels that’s 18x8.5 with +33 off set on all 4 wheels and I’m putting 225 in the front and 255 in the rear. I was wondering if I would be able to fit that. Suspension and everything is stock.

The 225 would fit on a 8.5, although it'd be stretched
The 255 would also fit
If you could tell us the aspect ratios as well, I'm sure @Sasnuke will give you a definitive answer.

Are you just trying to reuse the stock tires?

Since you're squaring up the wheels anyway, I'd recommended going square for rotations.

They will fit, i'm running those specs lowered on RSR Downs (that's assuming the spoke pattern will clear the brake calipers)

I'm also running stock tires sizes without any issues on that setup. So as long as they clear the brakes, you're good to go (keep in mind, if you are AWD, you need to make sure the overall diameter will be the same on all 4 corners).

Technically, isn't OP shrinking the diameter of the wheels because he is using a half inch wider wheel with stock tire sizes?

Edit: Nvm, the rear tire is the same size, the front would be a tiny bit smaller but I don't think it would effect the AWD system
