Default 350 OEM BBK on AWD w/ OEM 17"

I'm going to have to replace my pads soon, and I was thinking about upgrading the front rotor's and calipers with the 350 BBK (http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...id=89403&all=Y)

I have the OEM 17" wheels (no money for new shoes yet)... does anybody know if the OEM wheels on the AWD will clear the 350 BBK?

Has anybody else done this with the OEM 17" wheels?

Thanks.

yes sir i believe they will fit. seem (RWD) IS250s with stock 17s with these brakes installed in my country. However i have to qualify my statement by saying, 1)they were RWD and not AWD, and 2) i do not know if they were using spacers on the front wheels to clear the calipers from the rims

350's default wheels in the Lexus site is the OEM 17", so they will fit.

I know this is totally away from the topic but did you notice a difference when you installed the rear sways?
