Default supra brakes and stock rims

so what's the verdict? will the supra brakes fit the stock 17's? i did research and some
people say they wont fit, and some say they'll fit with spacers? anyone have experience on
this? if the spacer is a fix, what size is needed?

not even a prayer to get them to fit, maybe if you cut out the spokes on the oem wheels then they would fit ,, just j/k

i have the ssr gt3 which have one of the highest disk clearance and mine fit with about 1/4 in if that to spare

with the size of the spacer you need to put in in order to fit, get new wheels

make sure the front off-set are right to fit the supra calipers , cos' even if you get 18 and up wheels with the wrong off-set , the brakes ain't gonna fit.

You may also want to get new SS brake lines. The stock brakes are very capable. Most complaints are about feedback and the SS lines will address that issue.
