Default 17" Snows with IS350 RWD F-Sport (Rotors)

Hi,

Does anyone know if 17" rims will fit on an IS350 RWD F-Sport? Since it has the larger 13" rotors. I'm guessing it's fine, but wanted to make sure. I did a search but didn't find anything specific. Does the 2IS have the same size rotors?

I want to put 17" snow tires on my (yet to be delivered) car. I prefer higher profile tires for snow.

Thanks

They must be OEM? If I get 17" rims from tirerack for a 2013 IS350 RWD, would I be good?

You'll be fine.
As long as you get the correct offset, you'll have no problems.

I put aftermarket 17" rims on mine (IS300h) and they fit just fine.
Offsett on my rims is Et40.

The lexus cap is self made
Just spray painted the cap that came with the wheels, and stuck a vinyl sticker to it.

However, it looks like a stock wheel, and where I live the stock 17" rims with winter tires cost about 4000$ at the dealership, and this setup cost me about 2000$ from an aftermarket tire shop.

Looks good! Did you install tire pressure monitors separately?

Yes. Tire pressure sensors were installed at the dealership, and did cost me about 800$ extra to install.

Is it gonna be a problem when you switch back to normal tires? I thought the 3IS only accepts one set of TPMS?

Dealership changes back to summer tires for free. They also program the tpms system back to the old sensors for free.

3IS only has room to keep one set of TMPS? Well that's a step backwards...
