Default IS350 calipers/OEM 250 wheels

Hi folks,

Will the IS350 calipers fit on the IS250 17 x 8 OEM standard front wheels?

I have read on another forum that they might need 5mm spacers on each side.

Thanks for any feedback.

nope you dont need spacers.
calipers will clear the rims.

I saw some ppl did it for their winter set up.

I gave my stock set of 17s to a friend with a 350 and they didn't fit because of the OEM 350 BBK and bigger rotors.

It may depend on what year the wheels are from.

2011 IS350 AWD's come with the same 17x8 wheels that the IS250 comes with, and they clear fine. It's possible some older IS250 17's may not?

The front wheels should be the same 17" wheel that came with the 250. Unless it came with a 16" wheel (Canada use to have this an an option for the 250 (not applicable to 350)/Japan an an option to have 16" wheel for 250), then no, it will not clear the brakes and which will require getting 17" wheels.

Those are the same wheels that came on my IS250.

Post which wheels you have, that may make a difference.

Thanks very much for all the feedback so far.

They are 17x8 and the tires for them are 225x45x17, rear are 245x45x17.

Uh, guys?

17s are the standard IS350 wheel in the IS. So obviously they clear the IS350 brakes.

18s are an option
