Default 2gs with ls400 bbk question? $20 for you if you answer correctly

i figured that was a title to make people look in here, ok so i have a 2gs and just got a ls400 brake kit but i dont know if i need spacers sooooo, if someone would be so kind as to let me try on 1 wheel to see if it fits i will give you $20, i am in orange county. if you have tools that would be a plus., mine are in storage. please pm your info, also if you had spacers that too would be a plus to see exactly what size i would need.....AND if you rolled fenders that would be a plus and more profitable for you (must be professionaly done, no ghetto job)
thank you for viewing and possibly helping.

hah just remove the calipers and bolt on the LS400 one. u dont need to undo the brake lines just let the stock brakes sit further in the wheel well and outt athe way. thats if u wanna try it out asap.

You're gonna need RCA's if you want the calipers to clear not the rims but the tie rod

or you could post the wheel you have, if it's not a High Disk wheel it isnt going to fit.
