i a term for wheel caliper clearance. Most Japanese wheel brand have high,mid. Or low disk for discribing caliper clearance for fitment. I know high clear bbk and low won't. Wondering if any body run a Mid disk to clear the 350 front caliper.

Never heard of those terms. When speaking of wheels, I and many others on this forum and other automotive forums speak in terms of wheel offset. One thing I can tell you about IS350 calipers is that they are thick, and ISF wheels (8"- 45mm offset) will not fit on the front of an IS350 without small spacers

It's a term with those who have bbk caliper were it truly matter. Different company's have different saying and different fitment even with same spec. Cause the face plate play a lot in the clearance of caliber with what disk it is. Two rim same spec same brand. One is high disk will clear bbk and one low disk won't clear even tho same spec.

If you're a wheel fanatic, you'll know that term. Though I know what that term means, I don't know what would or would not work on the IS350. I've only ever had factory and factory Genesis Track wheels on mine; so nothing with a 4-digit price tag or JDM.

I'm sure someone with more insight will reply soon.

Yes offset one thing Disk is another. Looks like I'll need 5 or 10mm to fit them. Hoping it's 5mm to clear so I can rebarrel them inch wider.
