Default Can I put Honda/Acura TSX wheels on an IS250?

I've got a spare set of TSX wheels lying around and was wondering if I could put them on my IS250?

I've seen them on a Camry before so thought maybe they'd fit on a 250?

Depends on which TSX and what yo have done to the car. I haveTSX wheels from my old car and using them with winter tires and they fit well with the 250 calipers, but when I did the 350brake upgrade, it did not fit upfront. need spacers.

I've got a spare set of these wheels from a 09-2013 model:

Would the bore size be the same and bolt directly on?

Since you already have the wheels, just test fit one on the front, and make sure everything clears.

yeah it is 5x114.3. Not sure about the new style fitment but I had the old style 17's and it didnt fully clear the 350 swap calipers. With maybe 3 or 5mm spacers, it can clear properly I have these



I still have them if anyone is interested

Oh,

How do I go about changing the centre cap or would I just have to leave them?

The Toyota and Honda do not have the same hub diameters. You need hub adapters. Trust me, I know.

Someone told me:

"They will fit but:

1) The will stick into the guards more and will look kinda funny, and
2) You would be fine with stock wheels, but if you get anything wider, you are going to have issues because the wheel is now 10mm closer to the strut tower. "

Is it best not to use them then because of issue no. 2?

Bolt pattern is the same. (5 x 114.3)
Center bore is different. (TSX is 64.1 IS250 is 60.1 therefore you need centering rings)
IS250 AWD offset is 45mm, the TSX is offset is 55mm so it's 10mm closer to the inside. (It will look more sunk in and possibly rub against the suspension)

I hope that helps.
