Default Will LS400 Calipers fit inside my winter wheels?

I just got this GS400 and would like to do the LS400 brake swap and would like to know if they would fit in my 17in. 2004 gs430 wheels? I plan to get 20's but i want to use these for the winter.


Off topic but would rather ask here than make another thread.
Would ya do suspension or wheels first?

Congrats and welcome!

I want to say the 17s do clear but honestly I'm not sure. Search and you will get your answer. I know other members have answered this, I just never paid much attention.

Props though for not creating another thread and cluttering the forum with stuff that has been discussed a million-and-a-half-times over the last 10 years. I say definitely without a doubt do suspension first

You'll need at least 15mm spacers.

They come in various sizes...most wheel shops will sell them....as well as many online shops and in our Wheels Classified section. You just need to know what size you want to run to be flush and not rub your calipers.

Who makes RCAs?

SAGE, Exact, Auto Fashion, GenB, and YouZealand Body are a few companies that make front RCA for the 2GS.

Btw, if you run Exact's 38mm front, or SAGE's 40mm front....you will need at least 17" wheels to avoid scraping the inner barrel.

SAGE also sells 30mm fronts, Auto Fashion, GenB, and You Zealand Body....you only need at least 16" wheels.
