you think a 3mm spacer up front would throw the fitments off too much and make the front wider than the rear? I have the ls400 calipers and i dont know how much material is there to grind off...ya know. Ill def give that grinding some thought because i need to paint my calipers anyway...
3mm won't be much to throw off the fitment of your wheels and fenders. I mean it all depends on how low you are going. You can always add more camber
Just don't over do it...I've got friends that swap tires as often as they change their oil.

i dont like chrome either but when i bought them, i was told they werent chrome there were polished. But thats over and done with now....i just want them on so i can see how they will flow with the car....if its some thing i dont like...for sale they go...
He did tell me that i needed spacers with the TT brakes so i took a chance hoping that the LS brakes would clear. Didnt work out in my favor Im gonna try a 3mm spacer and see if that helps, just gonna purchase the 3mm and 5mm.

do not shave. get the spacer bro.. Think about it, what if by accident you get a little heavy handed and shave to much? Caliper replacement costs etc.. Do the spacer and save yourself the hard labor. lol

Yea definitely, and compound that with a stiffer sidewall and you can break even on or lose traction. I moved up 10mm on width with a stickier (and stiffer) set of tires, but also reduced my aspect ratio 5% and they spin about the same as they did before in a straight line. The handling difference is tremendous though.
you quantum guys need to make a video of the 5speed sc400 going all out from 1st to like 4th gear.
