My '00 LE 4 cyl. has factory brakes and for IS300 17" wheels there are no fitment problems due to the brakes. With the right tire brand, you will not even need spacers, with other brands you *will* need 5 mm on the rear to clear the struts, and on the front you *may* have rubbing at the wheel well at full turn of the steering wheel. I later put V6 rear disks on my Camry and again, not fit issues due to brakes. I should say though that my particular year-model-trim seems to come with the larger brakes similar/same as the V6 model on the front from the factory, unlike the CE mode, which has about 10mm or so (forgot exactly) smaller disks and different pads, may be different calipers too in the front. Not sure if these CEs may have issues or not.
No idea about the 16" IS300 wheels though...
