OEM Aristo Wheels on a Toyota Celsior - What size Wheel Spacers??? - HELP!!!
I have a set of OEM Aristo wheels I am trying to put on my Celsior.
The rear wheels fit, however the fronts rub on the break calipers and prevent the wheel from turning.
Does anyone know what size/type of wheel spacer will correct the issue?
Thanks in advance all!

The car is a 94
It's winter here in Canada and I put the Aristo wheels on the back as they have winter tires mounted. We have had snow this week!
You can see in the photo that I still have the original wheels that came with the car on the front as I cant get the Aristo wheels to fit.

What production month Celsior? Maybe a month 11-12 of '94. The pic of yours shows the 4 pot caliper on the 95+ model years. The Aristo/GS300 wheel is from the 96 or older. Put the wheel on and measure how much wheel pad space is showing...that will give the minimum then add a bit more. 15mm is a typical safe spacer clearance size on non-BBK/low disk type wheels.

What a coincidence. The wheel looks the same with the one for a JDM Toyota Crown Majesta UZS171 (1UZ-FE Engine, 16inch wheel 7.5inch wide, 50mm offset) shown below.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83...82%B9%E3%82%BF
A friend of mine once suggested to me use his Majesta's winter tires and I tried to fit those to my 98 Celsior.
The rear was OK but the front interfered with the brake calliper badly. I tried a 5mm spacer but still not enough. I added a 3mm spacer but still the wheel was barely touching. You barely can see that the calliper is damaged partly (the surface paint was peeled off and the aluminium is exposed at the higher area).
If the wheel is the same, I think you need at least a 10mm spacer and need to replace the stud bolts. In my case I gave up using those wheels and bought wheels for a 00 Celsior for winter tires.

What do you mean by "wheel pad"?
As far as the spacers, will it require a spacer with studs, or can I get away with non stud spacers?

I don't recall the specs on the Surpa 4 pot calipers other then they are heavier by a few ticks and the rotor is larger fractionally.
These are the LS400 4 pot calipers:
These are Supra Calipers:
The wheel pad is the area that will sit against the hub. (that's probably not the right term I'm using.) The location of where the wheel spoke contacts the caliper will leave a distance between the hub and wheel. Measuring this distance and adding a bit more will allow wheel-caliper clearance.
There are spacer with built in studs and without. If using the ones that are built in, your wheels will need to have appropriate clearance because the studs will stick through on anything less that 25mm. They will need these recessed areas. Most factory wheels have them but some may not.
