BBS LM's clear most big brake kits so I wouldn't see why they wouldn't clear factory brakes (seeing that factory brakes are smaller). I'd contact someone that deals with BBS wheels just to confirm.

Are you planning to get LM's? If so, I think that'd be so friggin' sexy on a 3rd gen GS! BBS LM's are one of my favorite wheels Oh, and if you do get a set, please post pictures

I will definitely post pics when I get them. I might go for the LM Champion Edition since they are high polished wheels...

had the JDM ones on my 2IS and loved em.. too bad I sold them for a loss in profit . Be sure to contact Michael *** with BBS USA. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient with any questions you may have. Be sure to inquire about the red center caps(if you want them) as soon as possible. They often get back ordered for months!

On3racing, thanks for the kind words but Mesca is correct, those are not authentic lm's. Defintiely not the same quality as bbs but it does the job for me as my daily. OP, can't wait to see pics
