Default Stock wheels that clear Supra Brakes

I did a few searches but couldn't really find a definite list. What are some factory Lexus or Toyota wheels that will clear the Supra brakes without using spacers?

I'm think 95+ LS400 wheels will work, not 100% sure though.

LS400 ones work yes, cause the calipers are the same as the supra.

which is also a cheaper upgrade, and will give you same results

I personally like the Supra Calipers more since you can do a full swap front and rear without modifications beside shaving the dust shields. As for the LS calipers, I've heard you need a little more modification, actually require some shaving to the calipers. As for price, I don't know how much each cost on the market, but I got my full set calipers and rotors of a low miles from a 98 Supra for $650.

i ment the calipers are still 4 pot.

the slightly larger, but i've heard the weigh less. or is it the supra's that weigh less?

and you have to shave some bolts, and slight bit off the caliper.

to some the price difference is worht the little bit of work
