Default Another wheel size question

I'm looking for a set of OEM wheels to put winter tires on for my 05' LS. I came across a craigslist ad with a set of 4 (with winter tires) from a 2011 ES350. The current tires on those wheels at 215/55 R17. It looks like the 17" ES rim with is 7, where the LS is 7.5. The offset is the same, but will the rim width difference make it incompatible? It looks like the 16" OEM Lexus wheels have a width of 7, so I'm assuming these will work? Here's a stock photo of the wheel for reference, I think it'll look pretty sweet on a LS:

Well I got too excited and posted before doing a good search. Looks like they won't clear the calipers:

Luckily there are a couple LS400's at the junkyard, hopefully if they are in good shape I'll have some winter wheels.

I've been looking forever on CL for an extra set of decent stock wheels for my '04 and I finally gave up and ordered some used '02 16s off ebay. Going to put either Blizzak WS90s, Hakka R3s, or Vikingcontact7s on them. Good luck with your search.
