camry wheels on a lexus??
Hello everyone. I was wondering if a 2012 camry factory 18" wheels will fit on a IS300? A week ago I found out I have 2 wheels that are bent. The ride is not smooth anymore. It's actually kinda rough and loud. It gives me a damn headache every time I drive my car. I feel like getting rid of the piece of ish. Dealer is saying i need to replace wheels for a total of $1800. F that!! I hear some shops in my area can fix bent rims for around $170 a rim. I'm hoping it can get fixed, but in the mean time I don't wanna drive around with these wheels. So will camry wheels fit ok? Until I can get the problem fixed

The pursuit of F
Welcome to the forum. If you're referring to the Camry SE wheels such as http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Camry-12-13-14-Charcoal-18-5-Spoke-Factory-OEM-Wheel-Rim-B-69605-98271-/281913113514?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368, then yes as the bolt pattern, hub, and offset fit. BUT, they are narrower by 0.5" at front and worse at 1.5" at the rear compared to the staggered IS wheels. Putting on the 255/35/18 rear rubber on the 7.5" rim is not recommended. You'll need new narrower rubber.
For your IS rims, have you tired re-balancing or are they visibly badly bent out of shape?

I wonder if you also have some tire damage if the noise/vibration is that bad. You may want to go to a tire shop and get things checked out.
There are a number of cars that use similar-sized wheels but not in a staggered set-up. You really want to find a set of 18x8 with a 45 or 50mm offset. Here's a link to the wheel specs, in case it is helpful:

The tire/wheel insurance most of the dealers sell really is worth the money. Issues like you are having? Take it in. Curb rash? Take it in. Pays for itself with one wheel...
