Default wheel clearance with ls brakes
On a 97sc3 will 17'' gs wheels clear the 4 piston ls calipers? If not, how much of a spacer do I need? Can anyone help?

No it won't clear and I wouldn't try running a spacer that large for safety reasons. If you want to run these brakes than you should get new wheels that clear those brakes.

putting spacers basically is like putting more stress on the suspension, and more change to break something
