Does anyone know if these would fit the P5. They appear to be the same bolt pattern and are 17x7. Only question would be the offset. I think they would look pretty cool.

don't know for sure.....do you know someone with a IS300? if so...get them to let you or them take a wheel off and measure the offset....

or find one in a junk yard or wheel speciality place and do the same.

My friend got a set of IS300 rims and it fits fine except.....
The middle of the hub on the IS300 rims is smaller then the P5 so the rim can't slide all the way on. You will have to modify the center section of the IS300 rim (any machine shop can do it for cheap) and i will fit perfectly. As far as the offset, I can't answer that but I can say that it looked good too me!

the offset we want is 40-45. i am running a 43 offset with 18 and work just fine no rubbing.

OKAY....the verdict is IN.....YES they will fit.....the only thing is you will have to have the center hole on the hub bored out to 67.1 mm or they won't go on the hubs at all. other than that the offset is perfect.

ARD (richie) answered this question.....and he absolutely knows...as HE has a set!

Even though that pic looks photoshopped it still looks good.
I wonder how much the rims go for on the used market...?
