Default wheels ??

I've searched and searched but I'm not finding the right answers. I'm wondering which OEM Lexus wheels will fit our cars, without adapters or spacers preferably. I know the TT wheels fit and would be alright but then I read that the TT wheels need spacers to make them flush. I was looking at some 17" GS300 wheels on ebay, they said they were compatible with an SC300, but only 7" wide. I see pics of SC's with Mustang wheels, do they just bolt up ? no adapters ? I was told IS wheels will fit. Has anyone ever compiled a list of the wheels that fit ?

thanks

1998 SC300

Most other Lexus model wheels fit. The only ones that don't fit are some wheels from the newer models like the LS460 that has a different bolt pattern.

If you want flush, you're probably not gonna get it with factory Lexus wheels. Supra TT wheels are alot more flush than factory SC wheels (alot more flush), IS350 wheels are sunken battleships in comparison, plus they are pretty narrow so you don't even have the benefit of running wider tires.

If you plan on getting bigger brakes, keep that in mind as only a few Lexus wheels will clear bbk.

^^ +1. supra wheels fit, and are your best choice if you want oem wheels from another car. g35 wheels fit, as do 350z wheels, and i think they look better than is350 wheels, but they're still nissan. all you need to look for is the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. and yes, mustang wheels fit with no adapters. but if you want flush fitment, oem wheels won't get you there.
