Default Required offset to clear Supra and LS brakes?

Looking to upgrade to either option, but I will be rolling on stock wheels for a while, so it would be helpful to know how much I will need to space for both options. Thanks!

There isn't an exact offset the will always clear the bigger brakes its more about the design or shape of the wheels. My front wheels have +25 offset but because of the design/shape of the wheels they barely clear.

What size wheel is that? 16 or 17?

Just know that once you upgrade your brakes and want to rock stock 1GS wheels again, the wheels will not clear Supra or LS brakes.

You need at least 17" in diameter with a back padding that allows larger brakes.
