Offset for Stern ST2 on GS4?
I've decided to go with the 19" Stern ST2's for my 98 GS4, but I have a few questions;
1. Who is a reputable shop/seller to get these wheels from? I've seen them on Ebay, but I don't always trust those sellers.
2. Do the Stern wheels have the option to clear a big brake kit, namely the Brembo Gran Turismo kit?
3. What is the most aggressive offset I can go with in a staggered setup?
4. Can these be custom-ordered if I do have special needs as their "general" wheel will probably not fit my needs exactly.
Basically what I am looking for overall though is a reputable seller that will help walk me through which offsets will work for my particular setup. I talked to one of the Ebay sellers and all he said was they will fit, they fit all Lexus cars. That is not what I want to hear as each model should have different sizes. Thanks for any help.

They wont clear BBK, 2'' lip/front with +32 ET wont work well for BBK especially with their spoke design,
If you want to go that route i would look at AXIS Wheels more than Stern, my $0.02

Thanks LEXSOOS. When I talked to an Ebay vendor selling some of these, he assured me they would clear because he said they clear the G35/350Z Brembo brake package, do you think he was correct about that? I really love these wheels and will be upset if they will not work for me, but I'd hate to trust a vendor and then be stuck with wheels that will not work. Do you think spacers may be an option if the clearance is close?

Spacers are option, however it really depends on how thick spacer you'll need to clear BBK's.
I've done some research on ST2 and it looks other vendors states that for BBK spacer might be required, so i'm assuming that you'll need one. The question is: 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm spacer will work for you? Thats going to be hard to answer
If you decided to buy ST2 already, the only advise i can give you is: make sure that vendor states (in writing) that they will clear BBK, and if they dont he'll pay for return shipping (money back guarantee) otherwise don't buy it

Excellent, thanks for the advice. Any idea on who might be the person/place to ask what size spacer I will need instead of playing guess work? I really love these wheels, but they almost seem like too much of a headache.
