lexus IS300 rims on FC

i believe that the specs on the IS' rims are as follows:

17x7 offset=50mm

i was just wondering if anyone had already done this? or would know befire hand if this would work.

thanks,
chris

50mm offset? hmm you'd probably need some spacers cuz they'd stick in too much

people have done it, it looks good

S14 stock alloys also work very well and are just the right size

Yep. I had them on my old TII. I loved the way they looked, just the right amount of rim for the car. They fit fine with no spacers in the front, and 10mm in the back, however, they did rub under hard cornering, even with the fenders rolled. Of course, the car was slammed 2", so short of 14's, just about anything rubbed. Here are a few pics with them on the car, hope it helps in your decision process. Note that these bastards are not light. 22 lbs a piece. So bear that in mind when you're making your choice.
