Default Wheels might not clear Calipers


The wheels I bought recently were BBS SX - Crystal Black, and the distributor contacted me back and said they were unable to determine whether or not the wheels would clear the calipers.
The website said the wheels would work with my IS 350 though.
So I've been scrambling to see whether or not these wheels would fit. Here are the specs:
17" x 7.5"
+42 offset
5x114.3 Bolt Pattern, 74mm Hub

Do you know if these wheels would be able to clear? Sorry about the inconvenience.

TL'DR
I found out I'm gonna need spacers if I want it too clear the calipers so I just cancelled the order.

Why the 17s? Thicker tires for the CO off-roading? LOL!

lol nah, I just failed to do enough research. I'm probably gonna go with some Enkei Raijins now, but I'm still looking around. They're 18".

when I ordered my new rims for my 350, I was told to make sure to order it so that it clears bbk, so it would 100% fit on the 350 cuz apparently the 350 calipers are quite big lol...
