Thanks in advance.
Let me help you Help yourself.

1. What is the 2nd Gen bolt patter and stock offset? (Google)

2. Whats is the spec of the current wheel you wish to put on the car? (Google)

3. If your brake set up is OEM i woundt worry too much about caliper clearance.

4. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Now...Can You Tell us If they Will Fit?

So again if anyone has first hand knowledge that they put these on the car, fit with whatever brake packages, that would be helpful. I know they will fit, but how will they look, to have some what of a staggard setup, i will need to use a spacer in the rear. Trying for a stealthy look for my car, its a gte single, will post photos up soon. If anyone needs fitment information, oem wheels to oem wheels use the ultimate wheel guide, its great to see offsets and tire clearances for all oem wheels, unfortunately it doesnt offer brake information and how flush a wheel will sit, the only way to get that is to buy and try them out.

FYI, car has the oem 19inch rays forged wheels on it now, looks great for a summer wheel.

Thanks in advance for those who want to help.
I see you didnt go with the guide i posted. As for the rest you posted, there are many things telling me you do not know exactly what you are doing. Im not sure what you mean by TT and LS4 calipers. Mismatch fronts? Either way i will let some one else help you out.

UNSUBSCRIBED.

Again i searched the forums i didn't see anywhere or anyone who had these on a 2nd gen gs, Your guide doesn't apply to this application from what i can see, ie aftermarket brakes, lowered car, that's why people post questions as the answer cannot easily be found,

You must have a reading comprehension problem, as i have two sets of brakes, ie supra twin turbo, and ls400 brakes, if u can find someone who would mismatch a set of brakes i would like to meet them.

The best guide out there is a published book i mentioned earlier, i have it and like you it obviously doesn't help here. Thank you for finally staying out of my thread, good luck bashing others threads.

On an oem 2nd gen gs yes they will fit. If you have upgraded brakes then it will depend on what brakes you are running. I was able to fit ap1(s2000) wheels over my ls brakes with barely any room to spare..and those are small 16's.
