Default Would 17" ES350 wheels clear IS350 Brakes?

So i have the IS350 Caliper and new rotor sitting in my garage, and took out my winter wheels, which is off a ES350 (not sure on model year) and did a test fit and see if this wheel can clear the caliper, due to the weight of the caliper and the rotor (they are heavy as hell ), i can not visual the clearance that well.

anybody here use the same wheels here? need to run spacer?

I know offset propably don't matter much here, it is the spoke design that matter more

every is 350 came with 17" wheels, if not ordered otherwise. though the offset does matter if it fits or not. you need to compare the offset of the ES wheels to the IS 17" oem wheels..

I bet there is a big difference in offset due to the fact that the ES wheel is for a FWD and the IS is RWD. You'd have to assemble the whole setup, and mount the wheel to be sure.

I believe the offset is +40.
