17's are still standard on 350's, and always were. They were the same as the IS250 17's.

Somewhat interestingly, in Canada (where we used to have 16's on the IS250 base), 18's are now standard on the IS350.

Confirming what others have said, to the original poster: those wheels that are on your car were also used on the IS350 with the larger brakes. You'll be fine.

Thanks one more time for the feedback guys.

We had the same discussion on the UK forum and the opinions there were a bit different from a mmber who has done it...

They mentioned that the hubs were different for the IS250/IS350, but they are not. The hubs, bearings and knuckles are all the same between the IS250 and IS350.

EDIT: I just checked the European catalogs to be sure, the IS250/IS220d over there also uses the same hub: 43550-30020.
