I just got a set of '98 GS400 wheels, those 17" five spoke attractive rims, but would like to hear of possible pros or cons on mounting them. Right now I'm using the originals (beautiful condition though) but saw one SC with the GS's and looked pretty nice!
Also any recomendation on tires...!
Thanks.

Nice, but won't work with the upgraded Supra TT brakes. The spokes are extremely close to the calipers.

Question
What about the 18-in OZ Salinas made for L-Tune? I was going to see if those would fit. are they too close also?

I recommend 235 or 245/45/ZR 17 Michelin Pilot XGT/Z4 or Toyo T1-S.

Default Brake upgrade
About the Supra TT brakes, is there any way I can upgrade to those using the 17" rims? Some adapters or something?
