Default IS350 Brakes to IS250 AWD Different Question

Does anyone know if I can put 2007 IS350 RWD front calipers on with 2011 IS350 AWD Rotors? Found a good deal on both of them. I want to believe they will fit because the bolt pattern is the same for both 2007 and 2011 IS350 calipers, but I'm wondering if the changed offset of the AWD rotors would not allow the 2007 caliper to work properly. Any thoughts?

Calipers never changed, you just need to make sure you get the right rotors.

Hey Jeff.

I think that's what he's asking. Will the rotors he is contemplating work with his IS250 AWD?

IS350 calipers with IS350 AWD rotors will work on IS250 AWD. Doesn't matter what year.

It actually does. the 06-08 rotors have a smaller inner hub spacing so it will fit but wont rotate properly. if you buy rotors from an is350 2009+ it should work no problem because that is what I have. 09+ rotors can fit on an 06-08 but 06-08 part number rotors wont fit on an AWD. If that makes any sense

That's true, but if you buy rotors for an IS350 AWD (which is what he said), it does not matter what year, since they only existed on 2011+.

Yeah that thread never specifies that you need to have 2011+ IS350 AWD rotors. I just wanted to double check that the offset of the AWD rotor was the same as the RWD rotor so that I could use a RWD caliper. So the only difference between the RWD rotor and AWD rotor is the inner diameter of the rotor hat?
