Can anyone tell me if all of the F-Sport wheels from 2014-2018 are the same? I have a 2018 IS350 and want to find a spare front and spare rear wheel. My IS 350 RWD has the staggered 18" wheels. I need to know if the hub, lug pattern, offsets, etc are the same.
I guess what I'm asking is if I can buy a 2014 F-Sport wheel and expect it to fit my 2018.

Thanks!

The only difference seems to be the change in color. The newer F Sport wheels are a shade darker than the previous years. What year did it change? No idea haha.

Should be able to find out here - if you really want to dig into it

Thanks for the replies. I'm still searching for the stuff like offset, etc. The parts.lexus site, unfortunately, doesn't list the newer Fsport wheel, as I see it.

Dunno about that one. No change in part #. This would mean anyone who ever needed a replacement wheel would be stuck with getting one that didn't match.

Would have to see not only the photos, but in person, with the same light. Camera exposure and white balance can vary so much, even with the same camera, shot to shot.

Where are these pics?

I said the same thing. I think it's such a small difference you'd have to see two cars side-by-side to notice.

I just looked everywhere and couldn't find the thread.

Paint colors can vary slightly... this is why during production factories keep all the parts of all the cars together w/ the car they belong to rather than pre painting and taking from a bin. especially metallic colors. if they did that, you'd end up with a hideously mismatching car. one door a slightly different shade from the next

so in theory one wheel can vary ever so slightly from the set on another car. but not on purpose.

i suspect this particular case referenced comes down to viewing pictures on the internet and not any sample variation

Bumpers are painted separately and put in a "parts bin" if you will (yes I know different material). The rest of the car is already assembled and then painted.

Thank you to all are contributing here. I can live with a subtle paint mismatch, but the fitment is my next concern.

E46CT, I assume since the part numbers are all the same, that the lug pattern and offsets are also unchanged, agreed?

E46CT

Right, everything would be identical.

Thank you!
