Default 2016 is350 f sport AWD Fitment questions

Hey guys,

I知 new to this forum so please bear with me. Just wanted to get some help on a fitment for my 2016 is350 f sport AWD
wheels wheels
. I知 currently running the stock oem lfa inspired split 5 spoke 18 staggered rims and i was looking to switch over to the oem f sport 5 spoke staggered rims (PTR59-53130 and PTR59-53131) . my question is i know my current wheels are staggered with an offset of 45 front and 50 rear but will the wheels that i知 looking for fit my car since their offset is 40 front and 45 rear . i知 sure it痴 fine but i知 not an expert when it comes to cars and the lexus website states that it doesn稚 fit since it痴 an AWD. Will they fit, will the tires rub against the inner wall and will my existing tires fit these rims. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

Both sets of rims have the same front and rear size specs, so you can use the same tires from your OEM rims.
Although if you still have the Bridgestone Turanzas, you may want to consider some better rubber.

Lol...I thought it might of been your IS...didn稚 know you had the blacked out emblems and black spoiler.
I was actually heading down to the auto show...was waiting for my friend to get off work.
And no, I don稚 know Angela lol...I assume she works at Lexus Downtown. That痴 where I got my IS though.

oh i see, should have followed you to Autoshow, ya we have the same black spoiler and emblem, you also bought Tsudo axle back ? my Spoiler color matched my car, i wrapped it with Black carbon, i might paint it gloss-black this summer, i also wrapped the front chrome grill-line in carbon too. Also bought different Diffuser. Your car looks nice with the Drop

Thanks, it looks even lower with the winter steel wheels on. Summer is coming soon, so I'm hoping to get the 20's back on.
I have the Tanabe axle back...good enough for me...it has an exhaust note that's noticeable, but not annoying...just the way i like it.
I want to wrap my grill this summer as well...just need to find the time. I prefer to take it off completely so i wrap all the edges.
