well, if they're 17 FOOT wheels...

haha, sorry I couldn't resist. just check and see if the bolt pattern is 5-114.3, thats a start. I'm sure the other guys can fill you in on spacers, break clearance, etc.

if they have the same offset as the is300 wheels (+50mm) they will likely need spacers to fit right.

They will fit, but you may need spacers. For a 4cyl you'll need 5mm spacers for it to clear the brake caliper. Depending on the tire and struts you use, you may need another set of 5mm spacers to clear the rear struts.

I've got 17x8 gs400 wheels with p235/45/zr17 toyos on my 92 and I needed 5mm spacers on the front ( had 4cyl brakes then ) plus fenderwell/subframe hammering to clear at full steering lock. On the rear I used 15mm spacers ( to clear the strut and suspension links ) and full fender rolling to clear the fender lip. The back still rubs a little bit over hard bumps, but the handling is absolutely awesome, even with blown out struts.

I used Ichiba spacers ( www.ichibausa.com ) and they fit perfectly and came with longer studs.

Hope this helps.

The rims in my sig is Lexus IS 300 rims, 17x7, 50mm offset. I have a V6, which means bigger brakes; the rims cleared the calipers, but only barely. In the rear the tires rubbed the struts and I couldn't even bolt the wheel on. Put in 5mm spacers and it was fine.

All about the offset. Learn offset and you will save some aggravation.
