I don't have them on my car, nor have I ever seen one. I'm sure they would fit bolt pattern wise, but they are kind of narrow for our cars. If you like that look you should get the GS400 17" rims. They look similar but curve in a little bit and are 8" wide so they fill out the fenders better.

Thx for your reply Slick. I asked because my newphew is upgrading his IS and he's considering giving me his oem wheels. I don't have a lot of choices If i have money to play with my sc, i would buy something much better.

I thought the IS has 225 which is the same size as the sc400's. Also, i think the oem wheels of the IS don't look so bad.

Thx

Default GS 400 Sport Wheels

When you Upgrade to the GS 400 Sport wheels on an SC like I did, you go with 235/45 ZR 17's...the IS300 uses 225's.

Too narrow for an SC plus your aspect ratio will be off (tires will be too tall).

i also have the gs 17" wheels on my sc
they look a lot better than stock only one problem though
i dunno why (maybe it's just me)
17" wheels looks bigger on IS and GS than SC
but it's very nice i turn a lot of heads people even asked me if dey were 20s.

GS and the IS wheels looks almost the same
