Default BBS LMS style wheels

So, I've done some research and I can't seem to see if anyone is running the BBS LMS style wheels on their IS350. I've seen them on the IS250 and they look great! If anyone can chime in on what brand wheels and what spacers they are using to clear the front calipers of the IS350 that would be great

Hey Bro,

Hope this will help you out. I went and look up on Aspec Wheel store on eBay. Look like you can run the BBS LM Style wheels with a 5mm spacer in the front. Here a direct link if you want look into further infromation or contact them directly.

Thanks man! I'll have to read up on the quality of those wheels and see how well they hold up.

The brake caliper sizes are a big difference. Most "flat" spoke wheels won't come close to clearing it. This is why I'm having such an issue with finding information on clearance for the IS350.

you need to find the right offset to clear the calipers......

check out the "Would those wheels fit?" thread
