Default Offset needed for IS350 caliper upgrade?

Going to swap the IS350 brakes up front for my IS250 but will I need a certain offset to clear the caliper? I have the stock 18's and am getting a set of 18's aftermarkets as well but not sure if a certain amount of clearance is needed.

if you're not one of the hardcore offset guys. try some spacers to see if it clears.

I'll be running +38 front and rear will this clear the IS350 front calipers. I will know first hand in a few days but just wondering if I should be prepared for failure.

offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance. disk type does. but even if you dont have the right disk type, spacers would be your solution
