Default F-Sport 18 inch wheels vs Luxury 18 inch wheels

I was at the dealership today and I saw two IS350 parked side by side. One of them had the luxury package 18 inch (5 spoke) wheels while the other one had the F-Sport 18 inch wheels.

I stared at both cars side by side (standing between both near the front bumper) and I could swear the F-Sport rear wheels particularly are pushed out more and seem to have wider stance than the luxury 18 inch wheels. The F-Sport wheels just seemed more flush with the outer edge of the fender than the luxury 18 inch wheels.

Does anyone have the specs on both wheels and confirm whether they both have the same width or not? Thanks.

Yeah, I realized it afterwards that I made a typo. They are indeed 18 inches.

Interesting. It is very strange how the F-sport 18 inch give the impression of being wider and being flush with the fender edge while the luxury 18 inch are a bit tucked in.
