I think you mean "REAR" instead of "REAL" right? I was kinda confused when I saw your topic.

He probably wants to have the same front and rear wheels so that he can do tire rotation

Im sure know that. He can buy exact size when get tires replace. When I said different size meant also the thickness lol. Everyone own an IS should have known what I said. Should I be clear to say measurement?

Will the rear wheel offset even clear if mounted in the front?

I remember trying this by accident once and it wouldn't mount.

Someone may know.

Yep for tire rotation and the back wheels have a lower off set. I'm planning to keep stock wheels and why not try to trade. If you really look at the wheels the rear wheels is a lil more concave

I believe it should clear. It's not much of a difference. Front : 18×8 and rear is 18×8.5 , offset is 45/50

So you think there's actually someone stupid enough out there to trade trade their rear wheels for your fronts?

Yup all if not most Lexus/Toyota uses 60.1 hub bore size.

The rears are wider than the front though 8.5" vs 8" in width.
