Hmmm 18" they would probably barely fit.

Is the bolt pattern 114.3 x5?
What is the offset? It should fit with no issue once the bolt pattern is right.

its not really a bolt pattern problem, because a majority of standard aftermarket wheels produced are probably 114.3x5, its more of an offset thing. any wheel with 114.3x5 will fit any 114.3x5. its the offset and width that is the problem.
if you post some more info people here can help you out.
goodluck
Charley

glad someone asked this. was wondering if the 18 lex 05-06 rx330 wheels (hyperlite) would fit my 97 es 3?? the bolt patters , again, are the same. was wondering about recalculating the speedometer for the difference in wheel size?? is this something that will be tough to configure??

Yes, they will fit. You have the correct Bolt pattern and size seems to be ok but you need to let the wheel pros in here know what your offset is....! that is the key determining factor

How do i figure out the offset? Its an ebay auction and all the guy is advertising is that its a 18x8.5 wheel set and bolt pattern is 114.3x5...?

Hey let me know how it fits i'm getting some is350 18's 255/40/18 rear and 225/40/18 front gona put an inch spacer in the back but the 225/40/18 is only .8 inch wider than the factory setup which should not be a problem. If need be just put a spacer in you should be fine just look for ones that won't require you the change your studs completly or you might have trouble getting your winters back on

The IS350 wheels are designed for a RWD vehicle which is why the rears are 255s... I would not suggest running staggered rims & tires on a FWD car...
