Default RX -> IS Wheels...I searched but

Would the IS wheels fit the RX300? Of course, I would put appropriate tires- perhaps 255/60-17.

Comments please.

IS wheels are too narrow, you wouldn't be able to fit those tires on them...

I talked to Tirerack and they said it's OK to shove a 245/65 tires on a 7-inch rim. It's not a very wide tire.

So my question is has anyone checked if the IS rims will clear the RX brake calipers - will it fit flush?

Thanks for the comments.
