Thumbs up New Spare Wheel:04-08 Acura TL Base wheels clear LS Calipers
Not sure if this is already known but anyway I got bored yesterday and wanted to see if the stock wheels off of my 04 TL would clear the LS calipers on the front of SC. I put one on and it cleared with ease. These would make great spare wheels versus supra TT donuts. They are 17x8 +45 and come with 235/45/17 stock tires. I plan on putting 245/45/17 on the one I use as a spare. These wheels can be found pretty cheap on acurazine, ebay etc....

That is good to know. I just bought my LS400 calipers and my aftermarket rims wont clear as we speak. Looking for alternatives.
