Soo new wheels came in....
My new wheels came in threw them on my car and I love them (will post pics at a later time)
I ran into an issue with the fronts however I think my offset was too high and inturn the spokes of the front wheels didnt clear the BBK. So in turn I had to slap on some 15mm spacers and extended lugnuts. It worked but the space between the BBK and the spoke is small a quarter cant even fit inn between. Its like a few mm thin. Now the result of that is now I am having rubing issues and already modded my fender liners to eliminate the rubbing and the modding I did get rid of it for the most part but I still have more and cant figure out where its coming from. I did not roll my front fenders....Thinking about "downgrading" my BBK to the standard break kit for the 350. When I bought the car it had the BBK on it already...one of my friends tossed the idea to me and have been thinking about it....would just like some input from you all here....
So do I switch to regular breaks instead of the BBK and get rid of the spacers and not have to worrie about rubbing or do I keep the setup I have and just mod the fenders liners more and raise my front? ( I have coils so that si an option)

if your wheels don't cleak your bbk then the offset is to low. What kind of bbk do you have?
you could do either or, if you like the fitment and are comfortable running spacers then mod the fenders/lining accordingly. If not, you could sell the bbk then run the wheels without the spacers for a slightly less aggressive setup.

Ryan I got the Lexus BBK. I love the fitment but just worried in time I will danmage the wheels/caliper with them being so close together. Well its the front so if I had to run a slightly less aggressive set up I wouldnt mind. Just trying to see if its practical to sell the BBK.

Honestly, I'd keep the BBK and if you like the wheels that much...keep 'um. But I would throw in some ARP extended IS300 wheel studs for security, since you are running those spacers. Are the extended lugs open-ended? If so, you are good to go there too!
