Wheel fitment help
 

Folks, will 17x8, +45mm wheels clear the 2000 LS400 brakes comfortably? Looking at the RPF1s currently on TR. Thanks.

It is going to be close. Have you purchased the wheels as of yet? If not, see it you can test the wheels out before buying.

Call TR or contact Enkei for the brake clearances.

Have not purchased yet. What offsets are safe for 17x8 wheels? Thanks.

Will contact TR.

TR says they fit fine.

Jared: From the home page, select your vehicle from the "Shop by Vehicle" tab to begin. Once you have selected the vehicle information, select "Wheels" from the "What I'm Shopping For" menu at the below where you entered in your vehicle. All the wheels that show up are selected specifically based upon the specifications of your stock vehicle such as brake caliper clearance, hub diameter, load rating, offset, backspacing, diameter, and width. All options listed are guaranteed to fit without modifications unless otherwise noted in the "Important Notes" section for the wheel.

FYI, offset has no relation to brake clearance. I can find list of 0et wheels with miles of brake clearance and tons of 50et wheels with zero...

It is all about what's called the "caliper padding" or "disc" of a wheel....

Yes high disk, low disk, etc...

I would still call Enkei about the brake clearance or contact any of the members in the wheel thread about their RPF1 fitment experiences.

These wheels come in a range of offsets and fitment depends how aggressive you want it to be relative to the ride height and tire. The 17x8 +45 is conservative/sunk, if going square the 17x8 +35 would be a touch better. That can change if you are tucking tire and the tire sidewall profile is squarish.

Which offset would be better with 225/55-17 tires you think? Just a daily driver, not looking for anything fancy.

i owned a few set of RPF1s, on different setups for my FWDs to RWDs and recently am using a set off an EvoIX on my tacoma. i can tell you that 17x8 +45 RPFs will be very close to the LS calipers! these wheels are for FWD, which means the disc or pad is low. you may need spacers to clear your calipers. as RA40 stated, they are on the conservative side.

Contacted Enkei, they are saying the 17x8 +45mm RPF1s will fit w/o any issues.

Hmm, anyone here has the same on their car currently. Would love to see a pic of the same spec wheels (not bigger) :)

Anyone with 17x8 +45mm wheels on the LS. Would love to see how it looks with 225/55-17 tires also, if possible.
