Very Nice,

I am thinking of doing a similar setup. Questions:

1. can you use the stock sc rotors?
2. will the stock sc wheels clear these rotors?


Good job, keep up the good work

NO stock SC300 or SC400 wheels will clear the LS400 brake upgrade

its not about clearing the bigger rotors its about clearing the larger calipers. not just any 17 inch will fit you need high disk fitment 17's.

Thanks for the reply guys. Actually I ment calipers instead of rotors. My bad . If you have an 18' wheel, does it also need to be a high density wheel? And do you need the LS rotors or can you use the existing SC rotors?

Thanks for all the help

you can use the stock rotors, one member is running them here.

as for the clearance, you need about 2.75" from the rotor face to the inside of the rim.

a low disk 20 inch rim probably wouldnt clear. so its not about the rim size u need a high disk rims. most likely it will fit if the spokes curve outward enough. but i can tell you most the cheap ebay rims will not fit. volks and other well known names seam to fit.

They are a direct bolt on the only tools needed are, LS400 rotors, bleed the brakes, get a set of rims that can clear the brake calipers and your good to go.
