It calls for 215/50/17 but being that they are 45 you might get away with it and not rub......maybe just maybe, dont quote me

the 235 is the wide from side to side, the 45 is the height from rim lip to tire thread and the 17 well you know the rim diameter.

IS300 rims i wouldn't recommend.....it's a really high offset rim...50mm
it'll make ur wheels go in too much. unless u wanna run 2 pairs of 20mm spacers

Really, i thought all lexus rims were compatible to all lexus, i didnt know they didnt.........Ok how about a set of Porsche wheels 17X7 and 17X9 rear.
