Default IS350 Wheels on a IS250awd

Does anyone know if IS350 wheels will fit on the IS250AWD. The other thing im wondering is will the 8.5inch wheels with the 50mm fit on the front so i can rotate the tires. Im thinking of putting the IS350 Rims on all 4. But all the 8.5inch with 50mm. Hope that makes sense.
Thnx

A set of 350 wheels will fit just fine on a 250 AWD.

You'll ruin your AWD system though running different wheel sizes like that.

You can put 4 front IS350 wheels on and have no issues (and be able to rotate) though.

What I was asking is. If I got 4 8.5inch wheels so I have a wider stance would that work? I know the 8.5s fit on the rear but do they fit on the front???? Sorry it's confusing to explain.lol

Does anyone have a pic of stock 8.5 wheels on front and back? Does it rub?

I respectfully disagree. Many members here with AWD run staggered wheels without harm.

The concern is not about the staggered wheel widths.

The issue is the rolling diameters of the OEM tires that come with the rwd IS350 (front versus rear) are significantly different. The CL members with staggered wheel setups on AWD cars usually have selected tire sizes with same rolling diameter tires even if the tires are wider in back.
