Default Looking to buy 2015 f sport 3 is350. Will 17 inch wheels fit?

I already have some 17 inch wheels universal wheels with xice tires from the Volvo S60 I am currently driving. I want to trade the Volvo in for a 2015 IS350 F Sport 3 which has 18 inch wheels. Will the 17 inch rim fit over the brakes? I did the tire size calculator for 235.45R17 and I am only 1% off. This could save me a lot of money. Thanks.

Some will fit, most won't.
I had to try 5 different models before I found one that clears the front calipers.
Really depends on the specs of the wheels and how the spokes are made.
