Default Offset and Fitment?

I am looking for 18 inch wheels for track purposes on my F. What sizes should I be looking for?

This is all I know so far:
18x9 Front
18x10 Rear

What is the fitment? 114.5?
What offsets?
And how do I know if it will clear the BBK?

BCD is 114.5mm. For the track you want to stick with the stock offsets to minimize stress on your wheel bearings. +45 front and +55 rear is stock. Clearing the brakes - you'll have to ask when you buy the wheels. Brembo has information on their website to help with this.

Here is another helpful guide by Brembo..

OEM Lexus IS-F Front wheel cross section

This was developed during the Brembo GT big brake kit R&D for the IS-F,
