Default IS Wheels

Not knowing much about Lexus cars can you tell me if the GS 18 inch wheels would be interchangable with an IS350 without spacers, etc.? While I like the IS 18's (need to see in person to know if I really like) I do like the GS 18's. I like to keep all my options open.

I know it is all speculation rigt now since the car has not been released but can current GS wheels go on the current IS?

Any insight would be apprecated.

I don't have the answer to your question but I just wanted to say I agree with you & think the 18' GS wheels are really great looking and I like to keep factory Lexus wheels. So far the IS's have not blown me over yet. Those GS's would.

Both the new IS & GS's 18's look pretty good compared to other Lesus stock wheels.

i was also planning to get myself the GS 18's for the IS though now that i look at it it seems like the GS' wheels are more geared towards the GS' softer styling as opposed to the sharper IS styling which the IS wheels match well with.

if anything, the gs 18s will be aggressive for the is. you definitely don't need spacers. either it fits or it doesn't, spacers will only make it worse

this is from my experience between the 2gs and the 1is. but i don't think the 3gs and the 2is will be of much difference
