What OEM Lexus wheels will fit the GS and clear big brakes?
About to install Supra front brakes on, but I don't have wheels that'll clear it, so it's being held off. I'm having a hard time finding wheels that looks decent, within reasonable price range.
Anyways, what OEM Lexus wheels will clear big brakes? I guess the LS's will right? But the LS400 wheels I've seen are ugly as ****. I'm looking more towards like 5 spokes design or something.

Yea, you will need a spacer (H&R the best) but that isnt the greatest driving with spacers. The only wheels that "might" fit are the 06+ GS OEM wheels as they have a little more room but they still havent been tried as to my knowledge. I know chuckb has them and he said they had some room behind them. Look into d2autosport as they have some wheels in a GB that are pretty cheap and clear the TT brakes.
Also, the LS430 wheels look nice but I dont think those fit either...

idk, i heard that they clear LS brakes and the aftermarket IS BBKs so thats what i was going off. that and they look like they have LOTS of clearance behind the spokes because of the rim design and high offsets.(isnt it like +40 all around :UH
will 1IS 17s fit my UCF2x LS?

Mike,
As several have mentioned, wheels you should look at would be those that work on LS430 (optional 18"s), 3rd gen GS430 (GS300's have smaller brakes) and 2nd gen IS350 (IS250s have smaller brakes).

Yes, and they're even bigger rotors than Supra TT (13.15 inch)

the 98-00 ucf21 had these 16's.
does anybody disagree that if the wheels will clear the gen II LS calipers, the TT calipers shouldnt have any issues? i thought the main concern is clearance between caliper and wheel spoke, not the issue of rotor diameter.
