Default IS250 wheel fitment on IS300

I searched the forum but haven't found a good answer yet. I am looking to pickup a set of oem 2010 IS250 17" wheels with tires. I read on another forum that the 17" wheels and tires will rub on the suspension. Wanted to get your input as to if the IS250 wheel will fit my 02 IS300 without any rubbing. I still have stock suspension, not lowered yet. Any pictures of IS300 with IS250 wheels would be great! that will give me an idea as to how mine will look like.

anotherLS had 17" 2IS wheels on his SX for a little while. I'm not positive, but I think he used a 5mm spacer for clearance.

Can somebody confirm that 18" 2IS wheels fit without hitting suspension? Thanks.

Yeah, he had to use 5mm spacer up front. ^

The 18s fit no problem.

I had the 17's on my car and they looked great. I did have a rubbing issue with the front. They were hitting the lil nipple that sticks out of the spindle arm. I just shaved it off and had no problems after that. I'm planning on painting mines to use em as my winter wheels.
