Default Will my 17" IS300 rims 43mm offset fit?

Quick question, will my 17" Lexus IS300 rims (~43mm offset), wrapped in Michelin Alpines fit my 05 ZR? Can i get spacers to push them out a bit? I would simply slap them on to test it out if I had my car back from my 6/27/05 accident (woman cut me off hit me head on....woo hoo 11k damage + labor)

Thanks!

I highly doubt that a wheel with a +43 offset will look flush to the side fender. Even with spacers, I think that they would still look awkward on the Z. How wide are the tires?

If you have brembo's you might run in to a rubbing problem. At +43 Offset you are running 13mm (Half Inch Roughly) further in the fenders on the front ant 10mm (almost a half inch) further in on the back. You should be able to notice the difference quite a bit. I would get a set of 20 or 25mm Spacer if you must run the wheels, just beware of the cost of those spacers will be in the $230+ range.
