^^^i haven't looked, but i'm sure the F's manual does not state anything about what other lexus model rims would clear the brakes.
i have stock 19" sizes of blizzaks for the winter. it's okay on the snow, unfortunately, you'll still spin on ice.
i have an pieces of old floor mats in the trunk that i've used to put beneath spinning rims at a stoplight, i learned from last year.

I'm not an owner yet - I'm interested in a local F that's for sale, but it's got summers and I'm trying find out if these:

18" barely fit - and they depend on the actual rims. The barrel portion of some rims give more clearance than others. Only way to find out is to measure very accurately or better yet, try them on.

I'm running 18x8 all around, wrapped in 225 45 18 Michelin Xi2s. I decided I wanted studless ice and snow tires versus performance snow tires because Toronto can get quite a bit of the white stuff.
I chose 18x8 at all corners to save money in the long run - tires are cheaper and I can rotate them. Just be ready for some tire spin if you have a heavy foot from the narrower tires. So far, the F feels like a very capable car in the winter - just be smart.
It makes me sad to see her covered in dirt and salt... decided to get a touchless carwash seasons pass to keep her clean!
Drive safe everyone!
