Default are rims interchangeable?

Hi,

Can some one please let me know if stock lexus sedan rims are interchangeable?

I am looking to get a set of winter tires/rims for my ES350, - can I get a set from IS250 for example to fit my car? Or LS?

Thanks!

Yes. All the Lexus rims that i know of are 5x114 so yeah IS rims will fit but they're staggered.

I don't think the 17" inch IS wheels are staggered - only the 18's: http://www.lexus.com/cpo/model_library/IS/2011.html

I was able to mount the IS rims onto my ES 350, the only difference is that stock IS tire profile is lower than ES's, to the total wheel diameter is about 1" less, which I dont believeis a big deal

That will throw off the speedo and odometer though. If you're going to use those rims you're best off getting the appropriate tires so the overall height is as close to stock as possible.
