Default IS300 Wheels fit?

some info on the other thread,

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho....php?p=2809337

wheel specs i think are 17x7, offset +50,
our ES stock are 17x7 offset +45 right?

so that means the wheels will be 5mm closer towards the car? should be fine right.

I am looking at used wheels for winter

If the rim comes in 5mm more than stock then you have to be careful that there is clearance for the brakes. I suspect you won't have an issue though.

They fit fine, the front brakes are so close they look like they were made for each other.

Looks great. Especially for a set of winters. I going to have a set of black painted stealies for mine. It'll be butt ugly but hey it's winter!

Around $50. The largest you can get them is 16". Not tpms compatible either.
