I like how the seller states that those wheels are VIA/JWL certified.

also it says that the widths on the wheels are different... the front wheels are 8.5 and the rear wheels are 9.5...if i have an is250 awd and i wanna just swap the rims and keep the same tires.. will i be able to still keep the same tires even tho the widths are different.. or will i have to see if they fit and if they fit the front and not the back then i just get back tires??

Those are probably good till you hit a pothole and then they bend like paper clips

No you cannot. For AWD you need to have the same rolling diameter on all four corners. Meaning you either need to get a nonstaggered (same width for all 4 wheels) set of wheels. Or you can get the staggered set of wheels, but you will have to get the correct tire sizes to maintain the overall diameter.

PS: I live in NJ and i have my Work wheels for sale including tires. They are non staggered and will cause you no problems with your car and need no fender modifications. PM me if your interested
