Default Will 06'+ 5-spoke 3GS wheels clear Supra front brakes?

I currently have these wheels on my car and just wanted to know. I wanted to upgrade from the wimpy stock brakes. I don't recall anybody stating that it would fit so I thought I would ask. Mods you can move this to the Suspension/Brake sub-forum if you'd like, but thought I get more hits here.

no, I think you need an extra 5mm. Let me see if I can find the thread on this.

Yes, you need spacers. I was in your same situation and then I just decided to buy new wheels to allow the BBK fit

Thanks for your help guys. I wonder if I should use this as an excuse to purchase new wheels.

Sleeper408, I had to use 5mm spacers to make mine work. The problems is it is becoming harder and harder to find shops that will work on cars with spacers even with only 5mm ones. All discount tires here told me their new policy was not spacers even just to get a balance. You may want to ask around at your shops. Or New Rims..Hope it helps
