We have tons of threads and pics and questions regarding putting a wheel from one Lexus on another Lexus. I figure time we had ONE nice big thread with pics, info, feedback on what works.
Example below. A SC 400 with IS 250/350 wheels.

I am not a wheel guru, I'm like a mid-level wheel guy
hopefully the wheel guru's chime in or people that have swapped wheels out.
The main rules of thumb are all Lexus wheels (cars) fit one another with the same lug pattern (114.3 x5) EXCEPT the LS 460/600h L. Their wheels WILL NOT fit another Lexus without some custom tooling.
The other main rule is most IS 350s/IS-F/GS 350s/ 3GS 430s/450h/460/LS 400s/430s have a much larger 4 piston caliper that requires another OEM Lexus wheel that will "clear" the brakes. For instance you can swap those wheels around. You cannot for instance but an IS 300 wheel on a IS 350 b/c the brakes are too big and the wheel will not fit. Since they do have BBK (Big Brake kit) clearance, they will fit any other Lexus with no issues (SC for instance).
FWD Lexus can use RWD Lexus wheels with no scrubbing under normal conditions. Depending on the specific year/tire, you might experience scrubbing in the REAR under a heavy load (passengers/items in trunk). Hopefully specific people can chime in.
I will edit/update info that is not correct in this initial post and add anything I've missed.
Thanks
Mike

Some of them don't look very good though, like the 1SC with 2IS wheels. That looks funny imo.
The 2IS with 3GS wheels looks decent.
At least its Lexus to Lexus though, the one thing really tacky is using other manufacturers wheels. Like Mercedes wheels on a Lexus or Infiniti wheels on a Lexus, etc etc....or in Mike's case, Acura wheels on a Lexus.
