I have the Supra TT BBK and 18" G-spyders. No spacers. No clearance issues.

as far as i know the front should be direct replacement if not you'll need figs adaptors. i had 18"s stocks on mine and it cleared without issues. i have 20"s now and definitely no issues. you may want to upgrade your brake lines to stainless steel while you are down there.

Ditto on the SS brake line reccomendation. Very happy with Rotora coated lines. Hawk HPS pads are performing well.

I believe he meant that 3GS wheels (GS350 wheels) will clear supra brakes. If they do, then I assume that GS460 wheels will also clear?

Think about it. The supra brakes is one size...it won't morph and become larger on 3gs than the 2gs.


So, if the supra brakes clears with 18 on the 2GS..it should clear 3GS.

Imagine you pull the whole wheel assembly with tires and rims; rotor, caliper, and rims, and tires off the 2GS...now move it to the 3GS...nothing changed except maybe the fender clearance.

This is just from common sense...haven't tried it

I think you misunderstood, the question revolves on the 3GS wheels, not the actual 3GS car.

Well, take the 3gs wheels and put them on the 2gs with supra brakes - it should fit.
