Default SC400 to LSBBK Spacer Options

I have a BBK swap in the works at the moment but I need to find a solid 5mm spacer in order for the new brakes to fit my wheel setup (17" Enkeis). At the moment with my mockup I have very limited space to work with. Too far out and I'll ruin the fender and with no spacers the caliper hits the wheel. Both not ideal. I've looked throughout the forum with little to no solutions and have had similar results online. Any help would be appreciated! Let me know if you need more information.

Reading through your thread, I think your answer may be in the LS BBK thread and wheel fitment guide. You technically have 3 options with the information provided. Either you change the offset on the 17 inchers, or upgrade to 18 inch wheels and drop the spacer, or the last option is roll your fenders.

Thank you for the info, I was actually wrong in my post lol. I ended up having just enough room in both the front and rear, but put a 5mm (or 3, can't remember) spacer in the back just to even out the wheel to right before the fender. Sorry for the somewhat pointless post and thank you again for responding!
