Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.

Important:

• Since some of our wheels use a center bore of 70.5mm, hubcentric rings are needed to center the wheels properly on the RC's 60.1mm hub.
• Like many aftermarket wheels, certain Lexus models require extended wheel studs and 60º conical lug nuts for proper hardware engagement when using Apex Wheels. This is due to the unique design of the factory Lexus studs and lug nuts. Please contact us if you have any questions about your specific vehicle requirements.

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you are a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for XE20 Lexus IS owners looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance and they are typically paired with performance oriented Summer tires or track oriented R-compounds.

Should I Dial in Negative Camber, and How Much is Right for me?

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hardcore racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations (when dialed in through the top hat / camber plate), it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
