Default List of wheels that fit TT and LS400 BBK

I've searched through the forum a bit and cannot find any list of wheels that do fit over the LS400 or Supra TT brakes. I've recently purchased the LS400 brakes from a junk yard ($85 shipped for both fronts FWIW) and my stock 92 SC400 wheels do not fit. I want cheap 16s to run, and it looks like the only option is the LS400 wheels, but what other wheels have people fit?

OE
95 - 97 LS400 16x7
93 - 97 Supra TT 17x?

its not the width or the offset that matter but more so the design of the wheel. anything with thick spokes or big lip most likely wont fit. you need a wheel with a flat face.

any mitsubishi evo 8, 9, 10 wheels clear.

i currently have evo 8 enkeis with snow tires on my car. they are 17x8.5+38? clear bbk easily. they are pretty cheap too. i got 5 of them for 350 bucks.

any LS430 wheels would fit, 06+ GS350 5 spokes, and someone said the 06+ GS 10 spokes would fit also...

You can probably fit your OEM 16s as long as you get some spacers for them. You'll need at least 15mm.

Like most have already said, runs some spacers with extended studs if you want the sleeper look. Offset will not give a 100% accurate fitment, spoke design will definitely come into play.

Just did a quick measurement, you'll need roughly 67mm from the rotor surface to the back of the spokes to clear the LS brakes at it's highest near the center of the spokes.

Yes they clear BBK i tried them today and the clear with no issues.

And if you go LS4 BBK on the SC400 you won't need new rotors the LS400 are the same size as the SC400 rotors.

Some question. How about stock SC430 18" wheels? Would they clear LS BBK? I know for a fact that they would not clear TT Supra calipers.

Are you sure? The LS400 is 12.4" I have the SC400 down as 11.65".
