A little bit of play nothing too crazy but there is some play.
Also there is no way a 5mm or 10mm spacer wont fit stock rims.
I can't see anything less then extended studs and a 15mm spacer atleast fitting stock rims.

Thanks to everyone whos went through all the trial and error to see what was needed to make this work! I really like the idea of having fixed calipers on all four corners for a total of 12 pistons!
It looks like 18mm is the minimum RCA height. I really like the 2007 3GS 18" 5 Spoke Chrome wheels. If I do this I'd probably paint the calipers gloss black.

Does anyone know about rear calipers and rotors? For instance, are LS400 rear calipers and rotors a direct swap onto the 2GS? Is it possible to put the stock 2GS front calipers onto the rear? I'm just looking to replace the stock rear calipers when I do the fronts, since they're ugly and made of iron as opposed to the LS aluminum calipers.

I got my calipers and pads from AutoZone, I think I got the rotors from Summit Racing (they're EBC brand, so anywhere that sells them should be ok), and I used OEM brake lines. After reading through this whole thread a few times, I didn't see any benefit to upgrading them for everyday driving purposes. My car has less than 60K on it so they were still in good shape. I purchased extended wheel studs and spacers from a local shop. I believe I needed .25" or .5" spacers. I was on a budget and the studs and spacers were an expense unaccounted for. I only had enough to do the front wheels. As a result, my front wheels stick out a little further than the rears. It doesn't affect handling or wear too bad. I'm not too savvy when it comes to DIY so I had everything installed at the dealership that I work at. Here's a few pics, hope this helps. Best wishes!
thanks

[QUOTE=gr8bryt;9732453]Here's a closer look. Be sure to get hub centric spacers to avoid vibration during highway speeds.
cheers for your help, now i can carry on with the install.
