Aristo turbo wheels on an SC? and clear BBK?
So I found a set of Aristo turbo wheels. The rears are 16 X 7.5 with a +55 offset and the fronts are 16 X 6.5 with a +50 offset. I realize this is the same as the SC300 but I was curious, since they are from a turbo car, if these might clear supra tt or ls400 brakes. I do not know enough about the Aristo turbo to know whether or not they came with bigger brakes like the above mentioned. So please if anyone has any insight as to whether these wheels would clear the mentioned brakes on a 97 SC300 please let me know.

On that note, let me say IMO 16x6.5 F and 16x7.5 is too thin for your car anyhow . And will look sunken in, especially the front. Even w/ TT rims 17x8 w 50OS the wheels arent flush w/o spacers.
I dont know what your rollin' on now , or what your situation is financially, nor do i know what your goal is w/ the car. But personally , I would put the $$$ towards an upgrade in your wheels before the B.B.
