howzit. i just recently bought an 08 is250 (rwd). gonna throw a set of wilwood bbks on. not for any specific reasons other than to get rid of the anemic stock rotors and calipers. was thinking of the stage 1 superlite caliper over the stage 2 aero6 caliper, being that car is gonna be strickly a cruiser. not gonna be doing anything hard. what im wondering is, are the oem 17s bbk friendly? will they clear? if they DO clear, will the stage 2 calipers clear as well?

also have an off topic question since we are talking about wheels. i do have my eyes on new shoes. narrowed it down to 18x9.5 (f) / 18x10.5 (r). choices are volks te37sl, work vsxx, or ccw lm16. for this wheel setup, what is the the recommended offset? i noticed the offsets on some of the pics i been going through arent low. look to be about the +35 range. thanks for looking and thanks in advance.

 

i wanna bump this up. just looking for an answer to my topic question if anything else. here is the oem wheels in question if it was unclear earlier. will bbk fit these wheels?

 

Those are the factory 17's. About the largest brakes that will fit under them are 13.5" (or basically stock IS350 brakes). Anything larger will require different wheels.

jeff: thank you for the reply. looked over the specs and seems like the stage 1 wilwoods is just slightly over the 13.5" threshold lol. gonna have to look for another set of oems to run when i down the whatever wheel set i go with for maintenance.
