ls400 brakes help!!! please
That is definitely enough LOL. Realistically all you need is only 1mm of distance from the caliper to the spoke. Because the LS calipers are 4piston the outside of the calipers will always be the same and will never move.

If you have already done the BBK mod, then just put on the wheels and find out easy as pie my man.
If you haven't, and you cant seem to find someone with the same wheel or at least the same offset, then your just going to have to do it anyway right? So just give it a shot what could it hurt? Then you would have some info to contribute to help out the community good or bad outcome.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH WIDER THE LS CALIPERS ARE VS OEM 2GS CALIPERS!!!
Oh god so you haven't even installed the brakes yet?!! You can't just ask if 20x8.5 +40 will clear a LS caliper. Thats too vague of a question. Some wheels yes and some wheels no. It all depends on how much brake clearance the wheel has. I'm most cases the answer is yes.
The stock GS front calipers stick out about 1.5" past the rotors. The LS front calipers stock out about 2.5" past the rotor. So if you have 0.75-1" you probably cutting really close. I suggest you get your facts right because it can make all the difference. And if they don't fit who cares buy new wheels. Spacers are not bad as long as they are hub-centric.
