when you're talking about tire width, you gotta mention what wheel width you have. wheels are a lot more fun then just the vertical height.

as far as rubbing, many IS owners work their fenders so if you're serious about performance, research that and get some wide tires/wheels

well if you get the right offset and width of rims, you can probably do 225 in the front and 255 at the back. but with 255 in the back you most likely have to shave at least
