I have the non-chrome version of those wheels and they won't come close to clearing the LS400 calipers. You'll need at least a 15mm spacer, and possibly 20-25mm, based on my rough measurements.

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

^^^ I was just looking at some listings yesterday and saw those same ones described as 17". Not sure if they are made in multiple sizes, though.

Either way with those wheels you would want a 15mm spacer in front to make them flush anyways...so they should be fine with the spacer for clearing brakes

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... 😑

Are you doing tt or ls400? I'm assuming the calipers aren't on since you're not sure if they'll fit or not?

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.

Default RX330/350 wheel

I'm looking at purchasing a set of 18" RX 330 wheels for my 2GS. Has anyone had experience with this wheel and the Supra Caliper?

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.
