Default 2008 IS-F Rims on 3rd Gen RWD IS 350 F-sport

Will stock 2008 IS-F Rims fit on our 3rd gen RWD F-Sports without any spacers ? they are 19's i believe.

i've tried searching and all i've found is that they need spacers to fit on the second gen IS250/350's. Trying to get a set for the winter.

Most likely the same case with the spacer needed since we do have the exact same brakes as 2IS is350

yep, a spacer is required. the brakes on the ISF are smaller (yet so much better) than the 350 gigantic front caliper.

I was under the impression that all 3IS calipers are the same... If so, I am not convinced a spacer would be required. Pic attached if my wife's IS250 with my 2013 IS-F wheels on it. Realize these are 1/2" wider than the early ones, with slightly different offsets, but I would put money on the early ones working as well.

ISF rims will fit the 250s no problem. 350 would need spacers

Calipers are not the same. The IS350 is really bulky compared to the F

For some reason when I post some pics the resolution sucks. I will try to find some better ones.

Is that an early IS350 caliper on the left? It doesn't appear to be 2014-2015?

For 2014-2015? Just looked at a 2015 IS350, caliper looked identical to the one on the 250 pictured above with my F wheels on it.

Thanks for the info. So regardless of Base Model or F Sport, all '14-'15 IS350's have that caliper?

Correct... They all also have the "Sound Generator"

But the RC 350's got the benefit of the GS 350 front brakes with 2 piece rotors..
