Default 3IS stock wheels on 2IS

Does anyone know if the stock 18" 3IS wheels will fit a 2006 2IS?

i emailed my dealer and they said "The information we have on these wheels is that they fit the latest IS model built from 2013 onwards only"

Is this not the case then? The wheel specs are 18"x8"J rim size for the front and 18"x8.5"J for the rear.

dealer doesnt know squat sometimes. The 06 IS (mom uses it now) has 3IS F Sport wheels on it. Biggest upgrade to looks on the car, the stock wheels are really meh. This will answer your question. All the car has is the Sport Package suspension which is only .5" lower than normal

I also recently purchased these F sport wheels for my 06 IS. Were you able to get the TPMS from the F sport wheels to work with the older IS?

Cheers

I'm thinking of getting those for my mom 2008 IS 350 since we bought it with 19" Velgen VMB5 wheels. The only problem is she kinda like how the Velgen look but don't know for how long since the car is lowered with Swift springs and the wheels are 19" with pretty aggressive offset.

Interested in doing this but can only find 18” wheels with 8” width on the rear with 255/40 tires. Will this work or look/feel weird
