Default Will 18" IS350 rims fit ISF

Hi guys,

I just recently purchased a 2008 CPO ISF and should be picking it up in the next bit.

Realizing I bought it right in time for winter I need to get a set of snow tires for it. As the title states, does anyone know if the 18" wheels off an IS350 will fit the ISF. I tried searching and couldn't get a straight answer. The IS350 rims are 8" in front and 8.5" in back with the same bolt pattern. I saw that there is difficulty fitting 19" ISF rims onto an is350 without spacers because of the caliper shape, but was wondering if there are any issues the other way around.

Any info and pics would be great

Cheers

Thanks for the info guys much appreciated,

Guess I will pick something of tire rack in the 18" variety maybe sport edition or moda. Leaning towards these (link below) and a set of goodyear ultragrip ICE wrt in 225/45/18

The 18" OEM G-Spider rims fit the F and a few have them on for the winter.

X Package also fit . Its a close fitment, but no problem. I also used to run G-spider as Caymandive - clearances were identical.

But I think (or remember) for the G-Spider... ONLY the Front 18x8 rims clear the rear.........
So basically you can only use 4 of the 18x8 wheels.. (not the rear 18x8.5")

Yeah I believe you are right about that. I knew it wasn't a staggered setup.

Thank god for the above comment. i just bought 4 x 18x8 G spiders with Blizzak ws70's...
Bought TPMS sensors that were off a scion .. hope that works :S ... bought new fit kits ..

i was considering 2 x 18x8 and 2 for the rear 18x8.5 but then realized I would not be able to rotate the tires at all ...

Thanks for all the info guys

For the X Package wheels, are they all 18x8 or are two 18x8.5?
