They would have to re-drilled since the bolt pattern is different.

An adapter of course but why don't you thoroughly explain it to the poster instead of trying to be so subliminal. I doubt that he/she knows.

I have a 97, and my friend has some 18x9.5 +35 for cheap I want to pick up. The fronts didn't fit over the brakes, so what size spacer would I need to get clear of the brakes?
Any help would be appreciated.

18x9.5 is aggressive already and you may need run negative camber with stretched tires. The only way to determine that is if you have the X factor of your brakes, make a template of your brakes and measure it from your back pad to your spokes.

Yukis, you might just need a 6 or 9mm spacer man, nothing serious probably.

it all depends on the spoke/pad design. offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance, but I admit we can guestimate if you will need spacers or not. yes you may need as small as a 5mm spacer to clear.

I have 19x10 +25 wheels up front on my 97 on stock (albeit trimmed, no pull) fenders, barely a stretched tire at 245/35, and I ride tucking tire!

'97 LS400 Moonstone Pearl with H&R springs installed and 17" GS350 wheels about to go on, rolled up alongside for comparison in this shot.

12mm spacer will clear just about every aftermarket wheel

Weather was finally clear enough to get my coilovers and wheels on. I still have LOTS of room to drop in the rear without fear of rubbing, but it would be pushing it a bit.

Tires: BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 225/45/18 235/45/18

I'm sure that people have done this before, but here are stock 17" Supra TT polished wheels on my 1997. Stock height.
