Default BBK Clearance: G35 brembo vs. Supra/LS400 brakes

OK Folks

I know that the stock G35 18s and 19s that clear the factory Brembos will clear Supra / LS400 brakes. I've seen the many SCs with G35 rims and BBK.

But the question I have for you is: "If a rim will clear the factory Brembos on a G35, will they automatically clear Supra / LS400 brakes?" In other words, is the disk clearance for Brembos equal to or greater than the Supra / LS400 BBK?

I have my eye on a set of rims off a G35 with brembos and need to ensure they will clear my Supra BBK.

Thanks.

I am almost certain they will the g35 wheels spokes bow out creating the necessary space for your brakes. The brembos on the g35 have almost an inch of clearance.

Let me rephrase the question:

I plan to purchase a set of aftermarket rims (not stock) that clear the Brembos on a G35. Because they clear the G35 Brembos, does this imply they will clear the Supra / LS400 brakes?

Thanks

cant say. you would have to look at the disc type on the rims. the style of the g35 rims allow you to be able to fit almost any bbk setup. You should put this into the sc forum as someone there would have more experience with the question.
