They are a direct fit for the IS350? Will these be a direct fit for the IS-F?
Front: 19x8.5 +43
Rear: 19x9.5 +45
Currently looking for an IS-F in the bay area.
very conservative offsets, even the rear wheels would be 20mm from flush for the front. I'm 9.5 +34 for the front and I can use some 10mm more outward. My rear are 10.5 +35 and it's pretty much dead on perfect.
so i would need some spacers for a more filled out look?
Are you looking to drop the car? Either way, I would personally say get wheels that fit right. I would rather not run spacers if I don't have to. More components = more things that could fail.

We think alike. I've heard it from both sides, too. Some say they swear by spacers and run them on the track just fine, and others have had a snowball effect in terms of things breaking down, cracking, and needing to repair multiple suspension components because of spacers.
To the OP- that being said 19x8.5 +43 and 19x9.5+45 are conservative, but less of a headache. If you're looking for more of a flush fitment, then I would suggest searching for more aggressive offsets instead of using spacers. I've seen many with +35 and MK4Sup_isF's +34 in the rear, and they look great, but you won't be able to lower it much unless you have a good amount of camber or skinnier tires.
