Default Lexus IS300 wheels fit?

Anyone know if the stock Lexus IS300 wheels will fit the S2000? Call me crazy, but if you change the center caps, these would looks awesome on our little cars! I wonder if they are staggered?

The center bore is different on the Lexus and they do only the 17X7 with no larger rear wheel.
I would not recommend it.

I'll leave the technical part to you because I don't know my butt from a hole in the ground, but I do know that you can get wider wheels than 17X7. The IS300 Sportcross has staggered wheels. I believe that the rears are 17X7.5 or 17X8. Would those work?

I also know that the L-tuned cars come with 18" wheels. I don't know who makes these wheels or the specifics, but it might be worth looking into.

The Sport Cross comes 17X7 and 17X7.5. You still have the problem of center bore. I don't have the factory offset of the wider wheel. You would need somewhere around 48mm offset to work on the rear. With this set up you would need 205/50R17 front and 225/45R17 rear.
I still would not recommend it.
