Default Do I need spacers?

What's up fellow SC owners, I jsut got my Supra TT Wheels, but I have a concern. Do I need spacers to fit in the wheels with the stock calipers or is it plug n play?

plug and play (several ppl here have them on here, including me), but you could use spacers to stick em out a tad more for better looks. I dont have spacers yet, but u can tell they need to come out just a hair

No offence, but why would you need spacers to fit wheels from a car with BIGGER brakes than your car?

No, you do not need spacers

In your first post you made reference to calipers, which is why he said what he said. Your goal has nothing to do with caliper clearance, but rather with making the wheels meet the fender flushly.

I'd say a 15mm spacer up front would do the trick. But best to measure.

IM using the TT wheels they fit good, plug and play. Of course maybe 10-15mm spacers in the front to make it more flushed if you want.
