Default 2011 AWD 17" Rims on 2014 IS350 AWD F-Sport

I'm hoping to use my spare set of 2011 AWD 17s fitted with winter tyres on my 2014 IS AWD

I realise the bolt patern is identical and yes, tyre size is adjusted to maintain rolling dia etc

My question is about off-set and clearance of calipers

For 2014 the AWD has a staggered set up whereas Gen2 AWD models used the same wheel all round.

I think the 2011 rims will fit and clear everything
does anybody see any problems?

thanks in advance

I don't see an issue since the base 350 AWD comes with 225/45/17s, the same dimensions on the 2IS. So to me, at the very least, you know the rim's diameter is large enough to clear the calipers.

^^^^^ hmm, I noticed you're referring to an F-Sport 350 AWD, sorry missed that. I may be wrong since we need to check if the 350 F-Sport AWD has bigger rotors, etc.
