Thanks

RWD = 18x8.0 Front, 18x8.5 Rear
AWD = 18x8.0 Front + Rear

There is no part number for a set. Dealers don't order sets. One part number = 1 wheel. They would sell you 2 of one part number and two of another. (18x8.0 x2 and 18x8.5 x2) In the OP situation he would order 18x8's X4.
The dealer doesn't know what he's talking about when he says a G Spider won't fit an AWD.

Somehow those wheels are a lot cheaper that the OEM stock wheels.

You mean the crappy 17'' wheels that come stock on the IS 250 AWD cost more than the spiders?

Well, that's good news because I plan on selling my stock wheels and tires on ebay, and hopefully the money I make will cover the cost of the G-Spider wheels and tires.

Thanks!

I've seen brand new 17" stock wheels and tires takeoffs go for $700-$800.You won't get enough to cover Spider wheels and tires,maybe half though.
