How can I determine if a set of 18 inch aftermarket wheels will clear the front brakes on my IS350. The ones I'm looking at are 18x8 +35 offset. Is any wheel with a lower offset guaranteed to clear the brakes?

I think around 20 is when you'll have issues. If it does you could always put spacers on to clear the brakes

+35 offset in the front should clear the brakes and sit flush with the fender if I remember correctly.

ask the wheel manufacturer.

We usually double check with the wheel companies before we sell a wheel we're not 100% sure on.

The design of the wheel can also play a factor.

Offset means nothing for clearance of brake calipers.
It is all in the design of the wheel disk spoke and concave and back padding of the wheel face.
No concave or little concave is usually better for big brakes caliper clearance
