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

I'll get some pics up as soon as I get a chance to wash my car. We are on water restrictions now so I have to go to autobell and have it washed. I'll start a new thread as soon as I get everything cleaned up. As for the 3GS wheel, my roomate has a new GS350 now and one day, we were bored and decided to mount the wheels onto my car and it cleared fine.

I'm currently running the 8 pot 14.2" D2 Racing BBK on my car now. I believe I'm the only one running this setup on my car at this time because I still need to complete my testing. Once I'm done with testing this setup, I'll have it for sale because I'm moving on to a bigger setup. Can we say 15.8" rotor and 12 pistons....

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?

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.
