Default IS-F Offsets???

Does anyone know what offset will clear the fronts since it has the Brembo?? I had bought rims for my IS350 but now I want to trade it in for the IS-F and dont know if I should take delivery of the rims, the front offset is 29.

29 offset should be good.

Knowing lexus, there offset is not past 40 in the front.

Lexus/Toyota brake setups are normally high disk, high offsets. Depending on the size of the front Brembos...it may pose an issue.

Anything but a mesh style rim should be fine. IMO

Don't forget, the IS-F will have wider front fenders than the standard IS,
so a wheel for the standard IS may look very weak on the IS-F.

Wheel style (five spoke versus mesh, etc.) has nothing to do with brake caliper clearances in most cases. Spoke profile and backpad height will determine this...

We won't know anything for sure until someone fit-checks the IS-F...
