Keep in mind the IS350 has a staggered wheel setup,the rears are wider (rims and tires). Any idea what the bolt pattern is on the Corolla? The IS (and basically every Lexus car except the LS600) is 5 x 114.3/5 x 4.5. If the 'rolla has the same bolt pattern,the IS350 front wheels will probably fit,the rears may stick out too much or hit inner suspension components.

 

If you don't mind me saying, I think the Corolla wheel design is MUCH nicer! In fact, if you showed me the wheels side by side, I would have guessed your OEM wheels were factory equipment on the Lexus, not the 'rolla.

Interesting... I did not know that they were staggered on the Lexsus. Even on the AWD models? I'm not sure of the bolt pattern, I figured there was a standard. It is a 5 lug set up though.

The width of the tires would be my next concern. They do take a good bit of a wider tire I believe. The stock rims fit inside of the body of the car with room to spare. For some reason Toyota thought it would be a good idea to cram some stuff into the rear wheel wells such as the gas tank fill neck. So I'll have to watch that too.

Thanks for the info Eddie!

Thanks! I just kinda want something that fills out the wheel wells a little more than the stock 17"s. Picky, I know. I do believe that the design that I have on my car is really the design from the older IS 300... just an updated version of them.

 

Hmmmm... I guess the other thought would be if I could run all 4 of my tires as the front tires off of an IS350... those run a 225/40/18...

The AWD models aren't staggered,the wheels are a different design (and smaller diameter) than the 350s anyway. RWD IS250s do have staggered wheels though.

I'm looking at Tire Rack's website,your bolt pattern is indeed 5 x 114/5 x 4.5. And it looks like front 350 wheels may work on all four corners. They have a 40mm offset 18x8 BBS wheel for the Corolla,the same exact wheel is listed as front wheels for the 350.

 

I have an IS350, and what Eddie has said so far about the stock 18" wheels are correct. You might be able to use the 18 x 8 front wheels from the IS but I have to agree with the others that your Corolla stockers are nicer. I actually got rid of mine within a few months and went with something aftermarket. The doublespoke IS wheels are harder to keep clean too.

Take a look at the Lexus GS 5-spoke and Tourmaline wheels if you want a nicer elegant wheel that might work with your Corolla.

 

Would you be interested in selling your 09 Corolla rims once your replaced them? I would be interested if the price is right. Just got an 09 LE with hub caps.

 

don't forget about your air pressure sensors. you either need to transfer them over, or if the IS wheels you're getting have them, you need to get you tpms computer reset to read the correct sensors and serials.
