When ordering you wheels, just specify a high disc fitment.... This wil ensure that you can accomodate not just the SupraTT upgrade, but other big brake upgrades as well....

Just saw this.....
Look on the inside lip or inside face of the wheel. If the wheel is brand new, try and wade through the 3-4 stickers that might be there, and read them closely!!!! You will probably see references to offsets, dia/width, etc on the stickers. Look at the metal itself, if you see anything referencing disc type, i.e a stamped(in the metal) letter reading A,O, or R these are generally to show the disc type. Alot of JDM wheels will show R for high disc, O for low disc, and A for standard disc. There might be CL members on this forum who can give you better "sure fire" methods by which to identify high disc, but it should just say it.... I am not sure exactly how it will read for the L-Sportline, but look for markings in the metal itself for disc type, rather than on a sticker. If nothing is there, or if you find a reference to a std, or low disc(unlikely on the front wheel) keep your fingers crossed that the shape of the wheel alone, accompanied by its offset, will let you luck into clearing a big caliper.
I cleared the SupraTT brakes easily with the SSR Integral, just because of its 18" diameter, spoke shape, and +35 offfset..... It had more clearance in fact, than the high disc wheel Im currently using. Maybe 1-2 mm difference. The stock 17" SupraTT wheel has the least caliper clearance of any of the three that Ive used with the SupraTT brakes lol......So, you may still get away with it, but if you dont have high discs, cross your fingers.....

I believe that wheels was only made available in high disk for ease of fitment...the high disk is needed to clear LS430 front calipers, so they brought them all in as high disk to save having a separate part number for GS cars (which can use the std disk w/o big brake kit) and LS cars (which must have a high disk).

I've only seen one set in person and it was definitely high disk. He didn't have the brake upgrade but I would bet that it would fit fine.

If not, people have shaved the outside a bit.

Post some pics when you get it done.
