My winter tires for my SC are 245/45/17's and rather than switch them back and forth every season on the same wheels I was wondering if these would fit on to a spare set of stock 5 spoke 17 by 7 IS300 wheels that a buddy has. Any info would be apprecated.

Thanks.

I have put 245's on the 17X7 IS300 wheels. Although I did not have any serious problems, there was some uneven wear on the tires after about 35K miles. Also, I got razzed on CL when I mentioned it.

Do-able? Yes

Safe? Probably not

Haha, yup. Those 245's (now mine ) can fit on the IS3 rims. I have had no problems at all yet, and when I replace the tires (pretty soon), I will most likely be goign with 245/45/17's again

i would never ever do those sizes on the stock 17s is300 rims

In addition to being wider then the recommended size for that wheel they are also taller then what should go on an IS. I would not recommend it, but obviously others have found that it works.

got them on yesterday and they are on an sc400 not an is300 and they work and look fine for my winter setup.
