Tourmalines fit bbk
Does anyone know if the 18x8 Lexus Tourmalines will clear a big break kit? :uh: ...Supra or LS brakes? What size rims do I need to clear a bbk? I have a 98 GS4 with the stock 17s. Thanks!

The stock IS350 18" wheels clears BBK also.

Not entirely sure by they do clear the 4 pots on the 3GS, which is a much larger brake than the 2pots on the 2GS

Mike, they do clear the brakes on the newer 3gs 4 pot brakes. I've even tried them on my brake setup and they clear fine. The only slight probelm that I run into is that my rotors barely clear the inner barrels by about 5mm.;):D
Can u post some pics of your set up? I've only seen in person. Maybe start a new thread. |

Yeah, your setup looks fantastic. I believe you have the split spoke 18s from the IS, the Tourmalines should fit as well since they go on the 430.

Thanks for the replies :).
So if i understand this right any 18 inch rim will fit most BBKs. I thought the curve/shape of the spokes determined if a rim would fit over brakes...sounds like i thought wrong. How big of a spacer would i need to clear a BBK with my stock 17s? |

how can you tell if a rim is a high disc wheel? is there a measurement to look at? would a 18 need a spacer to fit a BBK?
thanks for the help:D |

thanks for the help:D I also hope you already know about RCAs if you go with LS brakes. 18" wheels have enough clearance in diameter to fit over TT/LS bbk, but does not mean that it will have enough cleareance from pad to face. This is why stock 17s require spacers, to increase the distance and have enough space to fit the bigger cailiper. In order to tell if a wheel is high disc or not, you will need to messure the distance from pad to face to determin if there is enough space to clear the caliper. |
Thanks Fonzy:thumbup::thumbup:
I think some tourmalines are on my wish list!! Now to find the money before the Seawell sale ends this month!!:egads: |
