Just add a 20mm wheel spacer and the stock 17" wheel will clear most BBK kits up to a 13.5" rotor.

If you have a rotor larger in diameter than that then the answer is no, a stock wheel will not clear.

Might wanna buy a set and split the set with another BBK owner.

Here's the solution I'm using (posted in this thread)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=138514

It fits in my OEM spare tire wheel well and think my total package was less than $300 - $350 with tire shipped.

If you have a 14+" rotor, then you will need appropriate size rims. For example, 14" rotors need 18" rims. Then you will need to determine caliper clearance. 06 GS430 rims should fit most BBKs. L-Tuned fronts should fit a few like StopTech and Brembo. G35/350Z sports wheels should fit since they have to clear the Brembos.

There are others like what Dave is using.

I don't think so. What BBK are we talking about here?

if i have to guess, i think the 06 gs430 wheels would clear bbk, or at least very close

the g35 coupe 18s should clear a lot of bbk too. you don't necessary have to go 19s

The 17" GS will fit with a spacer. Otherwise I would probably go with the G35/350Z upgrade wheel.

Just so everyone understands, we are talking about the Rotora 330mm.

Viable spare depends on the BBK setup.

I got an L-Tuned 18" (8.5" wide I think) front which JUST fits over the StopTech 14" BBK.

Some mention using a spacer - isn't that a non-trivial thing to install at the side of the road!?
