If I may suggest, we just released 2 BBK's for the 3IS... both are 14" and very reasonably priced. And even our Stage II 14" BBK with huge Wilwood Forged Aero 6 calipers fits OEM 18" wheels (see pic below):

We have developed this kit using Wilwood calipers because it would be cost prohibitive to develop our own calipers for limited production runs. We have partnered with Wilwood to produce the kit using their calipers. In this case, Wilwood does not have Lexus applications either, so it works out well for both Wilwood and RR Racing.
There are many companies who co-brand brake products by using each other's components. Examples include:
(1) Stillen using AP racing calipers and calling it Stillen/AP Racing kits.
(2) Essex uses AP calipers and calls it Essex/AP Racing kits.
In both of the above examples, AP Racing themselves make a kit, but both Stillen and Essex make there own kits to fit a certain market niche.
I hope that answers it,

This is not terribly uncommon. Like he said, STILLEN make AP Kits where we select the AP Caliper used, and we manufacture the brackets, hats, lines, etc taking into consideration brake bias, wheel sizes, etc. A lot of times this ends up being more ideal based on what the kit is used for. It also allows for more variety in the kit.
