Default 2011 17in Lexus IS 350 AWD OEM Rims fit a 2003 LS?

I've done a few searches and found a few threads about different IS 350 rims being able to fit the LS 430 but they were all older rims like 2009 or later. I've done some Google searches and it looks as though the LS and IS rims have the same bolt pattern (PCD 5x114.3) but I can't pinned down if the offsets are the same. The rims are off an 2011 AWD IS 350, 17" x 8" , 10 Spoke. 2 of my factory rims have some real bad curb rash and someone used some kind of chemicals to clean them and discolored them really bad. I can buy the IS rims at a really good deal, a lot cheaper than having my factory ones refinished, just wanted to make sure they would work.

Generally speaking that if that model IS has 4 piston calipers the chances of the wheel clearing the LS caliper is better but not guaranteed.

Thank you for the reply. The owner of the rims says his IS has the 4 piston calipers, so maybe they will work. He is nice enough to let me bring my car and allow me to test fit them so, I guess this weekend I'm going to take a trip and go see him.

Thanks again.

Pretty sure I have read here that they will fit, but things change ...... When you can, try them on the front wheels first and make sure they fit over the huge brake caliper. Chances are if they do fit the front they will fit on the rear too.
