wheel fitment issues with BBK
I need to order a set of wheels and I'm pretty set on 18s, I'm currently stock ride height. I'm using an adapter for cherokee srt8 6 pot front 4 pot rear brembos + 360mm front rotors 345mm rear rotors I'll need 9.5-10 in wide wheels to clear my front calipers, I do NOT want to roll my fenders or remove my fenderliners. I do not want to rub. Can anyone help me with an offset and if you know of a nice set of wheels that may do the job throw em at me, I'm confused with the stickies information and this is something I want to get correct the first time. I want to stay square, I'm interested in 5 spoke star, 6 spoke, 10 spoke and the 10 spoke that looks like a star styled wheels.

I'm not familiar with your brake setup. So, there's only one way to figure out what is going to fit and what isn't.
You're going to need to have your friends come over and test fit their wheels on your car until you find something really close, or something that clears, then do the math from there. It doesn't matter if the wheels are bigger than what you want to run (or if your friends own a SC), all you really want to figure out and what widths and offsets are gonna clear calipers and rotors that big.
No one ever gets their measurements right the first time, unless they're already friends with someone who has already gone thru this before.
EDIT - I just saw your bump of JimmyMac's thread. Yes if you think his setup and yours is identical (or yours is slightly smaller) then what you are looking for are the specs to his Work or HRE wheels

I think my calipers may even be a bit bulkier from what I've figured out so far a high 40s offset if I want to run 9.5-10 wide, and I need something without much dish.
I dont really have any friends with wheels. I think maybe I'll offer a couple people selling wheels on fb a few bucks if I can try on a wheel...
Designs I like that I think may work are Konig Dekkagram, and Enkei PF01

I recently ran into same problem with my LS400 bbk. Had to scoop up a set of G37 stocks just to get it home with a spacer as well. Just ordered a set of aodhan 9.5\10.5 +15\+20. From what I've gathered on the forum if you look up wheels that are meant to fit an IS 350 which has large brakes then they should fit my bbk but I can't say for sure yours. Do as much research as you can...

One “trick” I used for fitting the BBK LS400 upgrade on my SC was to use the configurators on most wheel sites and use a ‘95 LS 400 as the vehicle. At least those should narrow down the choices that will fit the calipers and then assess your off set selection on what options those wheels have.
I also think you will have more options with a 19” or 20” wheels instead of 18”s.
Update this thread with where you ended up….
