No need to cut...I just bent/folded the shield....this is to allow the LS400 caliper to be mounted.

No...if you running EXACT RCA....you need 17"+ wheels to make it work. The reason is because the EXACT RCA is larger....38mm.....versus the SAGE 30mm RCA. The extra 8mm will cause the it to rub against the 16" inner wheel barrel...thus, the need to have larger wheels. The same goes for the SAGE 40mm front RCA.

Guess this answers my question about your spacers !

Are they the entire 'adapter', with the studs on them? Where did you buy them? I'm gonna need a set of them ASAP, as well! GREEEEAAAAATTTTTT!

NO...I am using the H&R spacers in which I had to remove the stock wheel studs and install the longer studs. If you are running the same wheels as me...then you will need them. Every wheel is different, so do some homework before buying the wrong spacer size.

...even with just 245's. What do you think? 20mm is REAL close to a full inch, that the wheels/tires would be pushed outwards. Not sure if that will rub the fenders or not...

But, THANKS for the info bro.

Only you can be the judge on what size you need....we don't know how much spacing you have with your current wheel sizes and offsets.

I suggest you get your coilovers installed....get to the desired height....then shave/roll your fenders. If you want a rear camber kit, get that installed too. Only then will be know what spacer size you need to push your wheels out to get as flush as possible.
