I have some wheels and tires I purchased for my old 2007 IS250, I paid almost $1200 for them. They are 17" and the tires are in great shape. Going to sell them here Locally for $750. Used two winters (3 months at a time).
What would be ideal winter rim specs if I want to do 17s? I keep reading that the brakes for the F-Sport are too big
Specs aren't only what's important, spokes design also plays a lot in the equation. I have 17x7 +35 wheels that fit nice, but tried 17x8 +40 that would not.

Ah ok. I just purchased the 350 F sport and keep reading that only certain rims fit. Since I'm from Alberta Canada, I figured I might as well get all the info early and get things on sale before winter hits...which can be anytime
If 17x7s fit, maybe my old Acura RSX rims work then

try them early and you'll be set if they fit or not! If they don't, there's quite a lot of information on other threads also. We were couple Canadians shopping last autumn so you should have couple setups that are known to work.
New owner of a new 2015 Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD here. Local Lexus dealer still had a few 15 IS 350 left, so they were offering some good discounts on them. I want to start looking at rims for the next winter. Does the Gen 2 IS 250 (17 inch, top picture) or Gen 2 IS 350 rim (18 inch, bottom picture) fit the 15 Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD.
As I had said in PM, both of these will fit correctly on your 2015, and clear the brakes.
for a winter setup, i was considering the stock rims with blizzak ws80 tires with the same dimensions as the stock all seasons. my question is, can i just remove the all seasons from the rims, and put the blizzaks on?? after about 5-6 months? and then i was hoping for suggestions for a summer setup with after market rims that i have not decided on yet. For those of you who saw my BMW post, its a no go for me

Yes you can do that for winters no problems. Check the wheel thread for great suggestions on a summer set-up. Shop tirerack with the "see on car" feature and sizing recs. Once you narrow down to what you like google image search them for more pics.

what are the stock tire sizes of the IS350 AWD?? do you know?
hey guys just curious what tires you guys are running for those winter months that are just a few months away.
there is not snow everyday so what tire would you guys run to get performance when there is no snow but have traction when there is snow? any ideas?
I will be switching back to the stock rims im currently running pss on a AWD.

Got pics? show your set up.
I got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 on my AWD IS350
Exactly the same set I'm running. Installed the winter tires on my stock rims and purchased the f-sport rims for my summer tires. The winter tires on the AWD are excellent. We get some nasty winters here in Saskatchewan and I was very happy with their performance.
I've had Blizzaks on several sports cars and sport sedans and they are amazing. I was able to use my Audi "sorry we screwed you on the diesel" gift card at an Audi dealer for 2 Blizzak WS80 in 225/40/18 for the front.
My question is on using the stock wheels on the F-Sport which are 18x8f and 18x8.5r. Would you go 235/40/18 or 255/35/18 on the rear and why? I'm thinking 235/40/18 for the slightly higher sidewall (3.7" vs 3.5") and narrower footprint (8.9" vs 10") which is better for wet and snow conditions. Gearing would change +1.6% for the taller 40 series tire versus the 35.
