just got them back from being powder coated candy teal. i was wondering if you guys can help me with tips on how to measure about what size of a spacer i need to clear these things? ..

thanks! ..

here are some pics of the calipers

 

you do not need any spacers, supra TT brakes are a bolt on application for our cars

you might need to cut the dust shield a little, but that's about it

if you search you will see a TON of info on it, not to mention pearlpowers step by step post.....

 

no i mean to clear my wheels.. it would rub. ..

 

ok, well then you would need to start by stating what kind of wheels you have, size, and the offsets....... That would be a good starting point.

If you're looking for a general answer, then you will need spacers to clear those brakes, anywhere from a 5mm to a 15mm, go with a good brand name, spacers aren't something to skimp on and save $.

 

if i was riding a stock wheel.. what spacers would clear it? .. i have no idea what offset my wheels are.. but they sit about 3/4 inch from the stock calipers... hope that helps.. any ideas how i can measure with a ruler to know what size spacer?

 

anyone? .. can i just measure the width of my stock calipers and then measure the Supra ones then take the differences and divide by 2? .. and figure out the space needed? ..

example.. stock caliper 6 inch wide.. supra 8 inch wide... 2 inch difference.. but you divide by 2 since its divided on 2 sides of the rotor?..

 

02-05 stock wheels need 15mm spacers to clear Supra calipers, so 15mm wheel spacers are probably what you need.

If you want the exact, borrow a wheel that can clear (barely or easily is your choice) the supra caliper and put it on your sc and then measure the distance between the spokes and you stock caliper.
After you get the measurement, let's say it is 1 1/4 inches. Then you need (1 1/4 - 3/4) x 25.4 = 13mm wheel spacers

 

Just go with a 15. Incase you put stock wheels back on you'll need 15mm anyways

 

okie.. thanks guys.. i will get some soon.. !

 

I have 15mm sitting in my garage man.. Ichiba.. hit me up via PM.

 

Definitely don't go cheap.

 

Sweet! I didn't know that you could even put these on an sc430.

Be careful with putting too big of a spacer on the wheels. I had 20mm Ichiba spacers on my GS430 for about a week or two on the front wheels and didn't like how it felt; there was an increase in vibration (compared to no vibration at all w/o spacer). So I removed them.

However, I've been running an Ichiba 15mm spacer on my GS rear wheels (factory 17" wheels) for over a year, no issues at all (knock on wood).

 

You can also use Supra TT rear brake setup if you like. (not a direct bolt on tho)

 

Talwang, would you care to brief us on how involved the rear bbk modification requirement is? I am interested in this

You will need some custom brackets to run those.
