supra brake uprade offset
i am thinking of doing the supra brake upgrade. i just wanted to double check with you guys before i pull the trigger. i have 19inch ssr gt3 wheels and am wondering if the calipers will fit. they are +37 offset. i think they are hight disk because the sticker reads H+37. does that mean they are high disk? in the rear it say M+44. so medium disk. i just don't want to get all the parts then have them not fit.
thanks

The OE Supra calipers overhang the wheel mounting surface by 1.55" (39mm). If you have one of the wheels, you could just use a straightedge to mesure from the backpad of the wheel to the back of the spoke...

i tried to measure from where the wheel mounts to the rotor and use the the top of the rotor(wheel pad) as place to edge the ruler against, but that is not where the caliper will be on the wheel. and since the ssr gt3 wheel bows out, it hard to determine if i have enough space where the caliper will be in relation to the wheel spoke. i can estimate where the wheel pad is when measuring the area where the caliper will be on the wheel, but if i am not 100% perpendicular to the wheel pad, then i can be a few mm off. i think it will be close but i am not sure if my measuring skills are up to par, i could be off by a few mm. do you know what the stock caliper overhang is? that way, i can just measure the distance i have from the stock caliper to the wheel spoke to determine if there is enough space. if there is another way to measure caliper clearance, please let me know.
thanks
thanks
