Some mention using a spacer - isn't that a non-trivial thing to install at the side of the road!?
well the ltuned is good for the stoptech 14s, but it's not good for say the brembo or the ap racing. but with a 3mm spacer it's perfect

spacer is very easy to put on. well, basically you just throw it on. unless you mean adapter, now tht's more challenging

17 wheel is only good for up to 13.5" rotors. so ap racing is the max. 14" rotors require 18" wheel minimum

Actually Henry, the OZs will fit the brembos. You are right that it does not work with the APs.

Rominl or Neo,

Do either of you know if the GS spider wheels clear 14" stoptechs?

I cannot confirm 100% but since these wheels are supposed to fit over the GS430/IS350 brakes, there is a very good chance that they will fit the StopTechs,
