hey everyone i got my self some 2004-2009 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT rims they are from 04-09 i know they are 5x112 thats not a problem that issue will be solved and i know the hub bore is 57.1 and our lexus is 60.1 now my question is do you think they will clear my brakes?? i dont want to take it to a machine shop and bore the hubs out and then it wont clear my brakes. need some help asap
Offset in most cases has very little to do with caliper clearance. the most important thing is spoke design.
OP, from the great description on what brake system you are running, im gonna say your on OEM. Im sure the Bentley is not using 10" single piston set ups so i would say it should be no problem.

im running stock brake system because i checked out the bentley brakes and calipers very thin compared to mine so just wanted to check before i went to the machine shop thats all.. dont wanna spend money on something i cant use
if you already have them i'd just test fit them. it all depends on the offsets
cant test fit them until i bore out the hub on the rim. but this will be for temporary i wanna see how it would be. i really wanna put the bentley gt none convertible rims on. i found a good deal on them but has a few dents on them which kind of sucks. but i gete the ones i want they will be painted black
just run adapaters! you will get something hubcentric to both the car and wheel and it will clear a BBk
well the adapters if i get them which i cant find. i was looking around all day to see if they had adapters that go from 60.7 inner hub and 57.1 outer hub. so i wont have to bore the hole out from the rim it self. if anyone knows if they do this please let me know.
the way im doing this setup is using (wobble Bolts) aka PCD variation lug nuts from rederwerks.com
im not wanting a pair but since seeing this thread i have been wondering what a good deal on bentley rims is, or what you consider a good deal on them....how much did you pick up your set for?
It should have no problem clearing the OEM brakes. Even the OEM 17x8 are +50 with very little brake clearance. If you are still worried about the brake clearance you can always just bore out only one wheel.
I am certain it will clear the brakes as Bentley brakes are the size of small children. The optional carbon ceramics they sell are the largest brakes you can buy.
Having said that I would not put Bentley rims on a Lexus. Leave that to the 300C crowd.
