Default Need Help *BBS Wheel fitment* question....

Just wondering if these will fit and clear IS350 Calipers. Always was in love with the LM's. What do you guy's think...?

they will fit but look awkward. they are not staggered fitment and the offsets are a little high, even if they were for fronts only. 19x8 +30 would be a lot more flush but they are +50 for the front. having 19x8 +50 for rear would take away from the classy look of BBS LM's.

my verdict: do not buy

Run some large spacers. Personally i don't like that style wheel its going to look very small on the IS. And they are kind of expensive for a set of 18"s that arent brand new. I'd keep looking if i were you.

I dont know how the width of the rim effects the clearance, but having 8.5" wide front with +38 offset (18inch), I barely have 1/4" clearance ,if that, between front face of the caliper and the rim. Radial clearance would not be a problem. You may need spacers. Good luck!

Here is my set up: 18inch, 8.5f x 9.5r, both being +38 offset.

With the step lip the LMs look smaller than other wheels their size. I too think 18s are too small for LMs. The body of the IS is huge.
