Default Can wheels on a 93 SC fit on a 97 and up?

I heard once from a dealer that the 92-95 SC's have a smaller bolt pattern than the 97 and up. The 97s are supposed to have the same bolt pattern(wider) like the GS series.

Can anyone refute or confirm this?

I ask because I may be in the market to trade up to a 97 model.

Would appreciate your input. Thanks.

Smaller bolt pattern? Nope, the bolt pattern is exactly the same.

Why are you going for a '97? Go for a '98! 290hp, 300ft/lb, SRT's full intake works on it, 5 speed auto.

I work at Johnson Lexus in Raleigh, NC so I am around Lexus's all the time. 1997 has the same engine as in the 92-96, but with a little more horsepower (265-275?). They put the new V8 (290hp) in the car in 1998, the same time they put the 5 speed auto in. They did change the body style in 1997 though. If you are going to buy a newer SC I would definitely go for 98 instead of a 97 because there isn't a whole lot of price difference and you get the new V8 and 5 speed auto.
