19" IS-F wheels and tires
Hello I am new to Club Lexus and would like to know if the factory 19" wheels and tires from an IS-F will fit on my SC430 without any problems with no rubbing?
One more question regarding the factory wheels and tires. If I put on a 20mm spacer on the rear wheels, will they rub at all?
thank you so much for your help, I do appreciate it, Steve

Don't be scared by the isf.
At least for now, the only car from Lexus that can take more aggressive wheels fitment than the SC430 would be the LFA.
Isf wheels will definitely fit, but the fitment is pretty much the same as your stock wheels except isf wheels are 19" and staggered.
Believe it or not, You can add 40mm spacers in the rear and still no rubbing issue.
And yes, I am talking about both isf and sc430 stock wheels.
With that money you plan to spend in isf wheels, you should go with some top quality aftermarket wheels that look better and don't need spacers.

thanks so much for your expertise, you obviously know much more than I do. I also appreciate your answer regarding the spacers on the rear. I currently have the18" Lexus G-spider wheels on the car and would like to put a 25mm spacers on the rear. I just hope it looks okay, I want it to have the staggered look like an IS-f. thanks again, Steve

The G-spiders are beautiful wheels I'd rather stick with them and throw on spacers...depending on your car color I don't know how nice the gunmetal color ISF rims will look on the SC...

It is not that difficult once you know how width and offset work.
You can basically use all the oem wheels from GS/IS including G-spider, Tourmalineand etc.
They are exactly the same fitment wise.
If you prefer to use spacers, most members here run 20-25mm in the front and 30mm in the rear.

Has anyone thought about or seen F-Sport wheels on the SC430? I wonder how they would look. My SC is silver and I think the blacked out F-Sports would look pretty awesome.
