Cool IS300 Wheels on my SC400?

A friend (in another city) is selling his stock IS300 wheels and tires because he replaced them with some wider ones.

They look nice, and are a 17x7 wheel. I think the tires are 215 /45 17. He also has 50mm offsets. Any idea on whether they would fit my SC400? I wanted an extra set of more normal size wheels to mount winter tires on.

Is the offset okay, and the lug nut pattern the same? Anyone done this before?

Thanks for any tips!

They should fit with no problems. Since the offset is pretty high and they're not that wide, it will be just as sunken in as stock SC wheels. They should be fine for winter purposes though.

The lug pattern is the same as the SC as well.

I had them on my 400 for about 3 years, look damn good on it too. I had 235/45s on mine and were just fine. I have pics of it if you wanna see em. Mine's a spruce silver SC.

Here are some older pics from the guy I got it from:





Here are some newer ones after I lowered it, just before I put my 18s on:
