So since this question seems to come up often with if a wheel will fit or not, in reference to measurements if somebody with tt calipers could do measurements on their car to confirm it would be much appreciated
TT rotor has a 30mm wide contact area w/ an additional 19.53mm "top hat" which the wheel sits on.
The TT caliper has a width 180.975mm. divide by 2, so half the caliper width is approx 90.5mm. Now assuming the caliper sits directly over the 30mm wide section of the rotor that means the caliper would overhang/protrude approx 56mm.
90.5mm - (15mm + 19.53mm) = 55.97mm
(Half of caliper width - (half of rotor contact patch width + top hat width) )
If this is correct that means you could measure a wheel from where it contacts the rotor (the backspacing) to approximately the region of the spoke where the caliper would contact. If this measurements is greater than 56mm or 2.205" by at least 4mm or more then the wheel SHOULD clear the spokes.
THIS STILL NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED BY SOMEBODY WITH TT CALIPERS THIS IS ONLY THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS BASED ON MEASUREMENTS FOUND ON AUTOPART STORE'S WEBSITE.
WILL EDIT TO CONFIRM OR DENY

Anyone know if 18" lowenhart LV1's will clear? I through on some 5mm spacers just to test fit and that shi* looked stupid as hell.... If they won't fit it's either ALL MY POLISHING WORK, can't even tell you how many hours... Brand new rotors, pads, RCA's and lines for nothing... Or ditch the wheels.... Dammit I wish I would have perhaps looked into this prior... 😑

As I said in a couple posts higher up check the distance from the end of the backspacing (where the rotor touches the wheel) and approximate where the caliper would meet the back of the face. take the measurement of the "depth" . Also if you're barely clearing SC calipers you'll deff need more than a 5mm spacer.

gonna check if 350z wheels fit soon. guy has staggered ones, 7.5 in the front and 8 in the back so hopefully they both fit over the TT brakes. they look deep enough and the spokes look to stick out far enough, kinda similar to my current wheels which clear by miles. i'll report back once i test fit them, and hopefully buy them if they fit. really don't wanna get spacers though so we'll see.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to say no based on the fact that 16" wheels are a pretty tight fit on the LS brakes already. I've seen the wheel weights make contact with the caliper on 16" wheels I've tried (with LS brakes). The supra TT wheels are 17" for the slightly larger diameter of the TT rotor.
