Hi all, I previously owned an early model IS250 and I purchased a set of Enkei J10 for them. They are 17x7 with +38mm offset and I am hoping that I can use them for winter tires on my 2016 FS. I know that stock are 19s and I love the size but tires are way too expensive for 19 inch rims. Does anyone know if the J10s would clear the brake calipers? If so, I can run winter tires for about 33% the cost of the 19s.

@ampageg2 if you have an AWD F-sport, the wheels are square all around (19x8 with a 45mm offset). Base AWD models (without the typical wheels upgrade) come with 17x8 wheels with a 45mm offset and they may fit. However, the wheels you are looking at are an inch skinnier width wise and have a lower offset - that lower offset on the Enkei might be an issue requiring spacers.
Here is a helpful thread where members confirmed that 17x8 wheels from the previous generation GS and Toyota Avalon 17x7 wheels fit (but they have 45mm offsets): https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-on-my-gs.html
If you have a RWD F-Sport (bigger brakes), i don't think those Enkei wheels will fit period. Bottom line: take it to a local shop to do a test fit!

I bought wheels with the same spec as the base 17" GS wheels and they didn't clear the calipers. The geometry of the spokes were a bit different, so it rubbed against the face of the calipers. Had to move up to 18s (at no cost since Discount Tire guaranteed the 17s would fit.)

I agree.

So even if the specs look good you won't know for sure until you test fit.

Thanks for the answers all. I have the AWD model with 19" wheels, my Enkei actually came with spacers from when I had them installed on the IS. Unfortunately my driveway isn't flat but I'll see if I can't run it by a local Walmart or something and just crank it up and test it out.
