Default Need help on fitting brakes

Hey guys, looking at either Supra JZA80 4 pots/2 pots or LS400 4 pots/2 pots for my car, only problem is I don't think they will fit without spacers.

Basically where I live spacers are illegal, plus require longer studs, etc.

So... I am hoping the LS400 4 pots will fit the front (back will be fine).
I have F:18x8.5+35 Work Varianza T1S and R:18x9.5+35.

Does anyone run these wheels with upgraded brakes, I know it's also about the rim design too and where the spokes meet in the centre, any help would be appreciated!

Its all about the wheels, They can easily fit with the right wheels, I dont know what else to say.
Are your wheels High Disc clearance?

This may give you a good idea. I did a quick measurement from my rotor to the back of of my spokes and came up with ~70mm near the center of the spokes and ~65 near the hub. This all depends on the spoke design, not sure how the Varianzas curve.

These measurements are for front LS calipers, my rears are factory, so I can't help on those.
