Yes you can fit 18" wheels no problem, just have to make sure the offset is correct for the car itself before you buy, with the 18" alloys you'll need 225/40/18 tyre's.

The best thing to do is post a picture of the wheels your looking at or a link to them, and a lot of the guys on here will be able to tell you if there the right fit or not :)

That does look a nice wheel for a black Lex and if its got the right offset and stud pattern it hould be ok,

If you can get the size and the offset for the wheels we should be able to tell you if they will fit or not? you'll need a 5x114.3 stud pattern for the wheel and around 40-50 offset, most of the oem lexus 18" alloys have an offset of 50.. :)

Ok, I've just had a look at the team dynamics site, and the 18" wheels are 18" x 7.5" - which makes them the same size as the Lexus 18" alloys. Therefore to keep the overall wheel size the same, the best tyre size would be the same as Lexus fitted or as Aztec said above.......225/40/18. You could also use 235/35/18 if you want a bit more rubber but I definitely wouldn't go smaller.

Also it appears these wheels are available with offsets of 25, 37 and 45 of which the one you want for the IS is 45.

I hope that all makes sense :)

I had 225/40 18's and the speedo was more accurate with them on too, chrome didn't look bad on mine either(see pic), altho I am not a fan and went back to original 17's
