I have a 97, and my friend has some 18x9.5 +35 for cheap I want to pick up. The fronts didn't fit over the brakes, so what size spacer would I need to get clear of the brakes?
Any help would be appreciated.

18x9.5 is aggressive already and you may need run negative camber with stretched tires. The only way to determine that is if you have the X factor of your brakes, make a template of your brakes and measure it from your back pad to your spokes.

it all depends on the spoke/pad design. offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance, but I admit we can guestimate if you will need spacers or not. yes you may need as small as a 5mm spacer to clear.
I have 19x10 +25 wheels up front on my 97 on stock (albeit trimmed, no pull) fenders, barely a stretched tire at 245/35, and I ride tucking tire!

'97 LS400 Moonstone Pearl with H&R springs installed and 17" GS350 wheels about to go on, rolled up alongside for comparison in this shot.

Weather was finally clear enough to get my coilovers and wheels on. I still have LOTS of room to drop in the rear without fear of rubbing, but it would be pushing it a bit.
