Tt Brake Size

[94lex83457]

I've decided on upgrading to the 17" lexus GS430 wheels (2001-2002) which are the one sc_toy has. If you want a picture look at sc_toy's avatar. My question is if the supra TT brakes will fit in the GS wheels?

I beleive you need 18" or better.

the supra rims are 17"

the supra rims are 17"

Then 17" it is.

the supra rims are 17"

hmm...if those rims are not big enough how big of a spacer do i need to run? Also, why do the Supra rims allow for the calipers, but not the GS's? Also, could someone clarify what disk fitment is?

well the thing is the GS rim's spoke will hit the brake caliper becasue it is now alot thicker. so if you can find a spacer that will space out the rim enough so that the rims dont hit the caliper or stick out the fender then you got it!

I reckon SC400 with original OZ wheel would look better if I'd use spacers. I was going to find ones but the question how thick could be spacers as bolts on which wheel sits doesn't seem very long to accomodate more than 30mm spacers.

Any suggestions?
