Default OEM Wheels options

What fits?

I like the look of the GS450h wheels from a year or so ago. It appears the bolt pattern matches the SC430. Has anyone tried to use this OEM GS hybrid wheel on an SC? I think this wheel with high quality spacers and a slight drop might really be a nice look for my silver 2002 SC430.

Any other OEM wheels? Hybrid Highlander? etc. etc.

All the GS wheels will bolt on, but like you said, you may need spacers. Personally i like the 5 spoke "fan" looking wheels off the GS. I also saw one with RX330 wheels and it didnt look half bad. Then again, anything looks better than the OEM SC disc wheels.

I actually saw an SC430 a while ago with GS450h wheels. It looked really good. They're my favorite wheels by far, but I can't seem to find a good deal on them. Second I'd go with the Tourmalines, G-Spyders, and ISP Modes.

Default How about IS250 upgraded wheels?

I saw a set of upgraded wheels of IS250 and I think it will look good on SC430 but I don't know it will work or not since they are different set of tires:
SC430 (18x8)
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
245/40-18 3.9in 12.9in 25.7in 80.8in 784 0.0%

IS250
Front: 18x8
225/40-18 3.5in 12.5in 25.1in 78.8in 804 -2.4%
Rear: 18x8.5
255/40-18 4.0in 13.0in 26.0in 81.8in 775 1.2%

Will it screw up the ABS, Suppensionor VSC since the front and the rear tires are different (raddius 12.5 vs 13, and Circumference 78 vs 81):
Any expert opinions
