Question 18" OEM Mesh Wheels on IS350 base

I've been searching on here and Google for the past 2 weeks trying to research fitment of the 18" OEM mesh wheels but really can't find anyone on here with these wheels on an IS350. It seems everyone's either on 18" F-sport wheels or aftermarket wheels. I'm currently running on 17" OEM base wheels.

The wheels I'm looking at are these beauties and I'm going for the look below which I got from one of the IS brochures. Question is, will these wheels fit the IS350's front brake calipers? Can I run a square 18x8.5 (4 rear wheels) setup or should I just stick with the OEM recommended 18x8 Front and 18x8.5 Rears? I'd like to rotate tires as this is going to be my weekend warrior (spirited driving). I'm really concerned about the offsets. This is my first time buying wheels that I can't test fit on my car and would really appreciate some help on this.

Also - if anyone's selling their wheels for a reasonable price, please point me in the right direction. I've been browsing the classifieds to no avail and I'm really close to just going with an entire new set which is very $$$$.


OEM Front: 18x8, 45mm Offset
OEM Rear: 18x8.5, 50mm Offset


Going for this exact look.

if you're planning on spending some $, i'd either go aftermarket or how about the GS-F wheels? pretty hot.

They will fit the IS 200t and IS350 have the same front calipers.

I think those wheels are very handsome. I'd rock those if I didn't already have sets of wheels.

Can I do a square 18x8.5 setup with these?

@davyjordi - yeah. These are the only other ones I like aside from the f-sport wheels. Maybe I have poor taste in aftermarket wheels
