Default will RC350 F Sport 19" wheels fit on 2nd gen IS350?

Like the title says, I am wondering if the wheels off an RC350 will fit over the front brakes of a 2007 IS350. I searched but could only find ISF related information.

Fit over, sure...but you might end up having to use a spacer to clear the outside face of the caliper. Not sure of the offset of those wheels, so its just a guess.

yes, they will fit just fine and no you will not need a spacer to clear the front calipers.

This one isn't lowered but they went on fine. There was rubbing against the front fender liner on both sides with the stock tires on. I just cut a piece of the liner off where it was rubbing and it seems fine now. A lower profile tire would have done it also.

To follow-up, the RC 350 F-sport uses a two-pc 14" front rotor...which uses a larger front caliper. Basically the same thing that I created a thread on the new GS F-sport brake pkg.
