Your IS350 rims is the same specs as my GS430 rims. You can go with either 225-45-18 or 235-45-18. I currently have 235-45-18 on my car.

Yes, you should get the same size tires all around but assuming you bought all 4 wheels are same size.
The IS350 front wheels are 18x8 and the rear are 18x8.5 because the IS350 is rear wheel drive.
Did you buy all 4 wheels the same size?

The diameter of the rims (18,19,20") is only one of many factors that make rims fit or not fit. There are width, offset, lug pattern, center bore...

You should be fine with those tires 225 or 235-45-18. The links above is for your tires to fit the rims. My comments about "other factors" was referring to Steve's comment about 18" and 20" rims.
A head up for you, since you'll put on a wider rims in the rear with your front wheel drive, you will have more understeering because of that.
Wider rims in the rear was design to control oversteering for rear wheel car.
To do it right, you almost want to put the wider rims in the front. If you have a V6 then the problem will be even more noticeable.

i seriously doubt you can swing a 8.5 width rim in the front, guess anything is possible. i think the wider ones are gonna have to be in the back. are they +45 offset? i was gonna go with the is rims but everyone and theyre moms have them. plus there is the headache of dealing with the staggered.

*thread jack* on a related note, does anyone else think i might have to go with a 215 wide tire instead of 225 because my offset is +50?
