My local dealership has an IS350 on U.S.-spec IS F rims... I don't think they encountered any such problems.

I never said that they wont fit...

Mv350 said that they "probably wont fit" ... so i was just saying if it doesn't, that would be the reason ( thicker brakes on 350).

But have feeling that they do fit (ive seen them on a couple of ISX50's...) I just didn't say anything because I wan't sure if they were a 250 or a 350...

no, the is-f rims won't fit the 350 with out modification. the is-f rims WILL NOT clear the
350 brake, its been confirm. you can put the wheels on the is350 for display purpose but if you drive the car rims will rub the brake.

The 08-09 ISF wheels were test fitted by Joe Z and Javy a while back and they confirmed that it will fit the is250 front & rear but the is350 will need spacers in the front...here's the link

Now the 2010 ISF wheels might be different dimensions on the inner barrel so this fitment on any isx50 will have to be tested somehow..Joe Z and Javy???
