Default Any Lexus Mechanics here?

I have a question, do you know if the Lexus LS430 brakes will fit on an IS250/350 without any major modification?

Is it a direct fit?

Does it need a custom bracket?

Or does it need to use a different hub?

And will they fit behind the Is 17" or 18" OEM rims?

Thanks

You might have better luck in the IS section.

iirc the IS350 brakes are the same as the LS430 brakes.

and youd prolly need the 350 18" to fit them.

I've tried the IS section and LS section and no luck at both, people just don't have technical information on the mounting points and such other than mechanics or someone who have worked with Lexus before.

I just like the LS430 brakes cuz they have a more "bbk" look than the 350 ones, the 350 looks like bloated bananas haha...
