Default Supra TT Brakes + 2GS OEM Wheels = Spacer size?

Been searching through all the threads but I can't find the exact answer to the very simple question:

On a 2GS, what size spacer does one need to run 2GS 17" OEM wheels with Supra TT front calipers/rotors?

That is all. thanks and apologies in advance if searching and browsing 20 threads and pages wasn't enough!

EDIT: Thanks for the information. It would seem that 15mm is what is required for this setup.

I think you need a 25mm spacer but i'm not completely positive..

You may want to be more specific in regards to which 2GS wheel. 16" 17" 18"

OEM GS 16" won't clear the diameter.

The OEM 95-98 Supra TT front wheels are 17x8 +50, so you can calculate the needed spacing from the width and offset of the wheel you want to run. Although spoke clearance can still vary.

Sorry, didn't know 2GS came in different size wheels. I have the 17" ones, not sure what offset they are?

Ok, how about a different direction.. could I instead consider just buying OEM MKIV TT wheels and fit them right up? I'm sure it'd clear the brakes, would I need to worry about them sticking out of the fenders?

I believe the TT wheels can be used as is. ErickGS300 had them on at one point.

Pretty much the same specs as your OEM 17's, they are a direct fit. And they won't even come close to the fenders, the wheels will still be sunk like factory.

You can go about this 2 ways. You can get a 15mm spacer but you will need to hammer out your old studs and press in extended studs

If you dont want to press out your old studs and press in extended studs then you'll need these.

These spacers just bolt right up to your factory hub and they have their oen studs pressed in the spacer.
Please keep in mind the OEM studs will stick out past the spacer as well.

I would recommend Motorsport Technologies for wheel spacers.

I have had vibration issues with the Ichiba stuff
