Default Will RX330 Wheels fit over LS430 Breaks?

So I am looking at trading my RX330 wheels with a friend who has LS430 breaks on his GS300. Will factory RX330 wheels (18x7) fit over those custom breaks?

Help is always appreciated!

I can't comment on this brakes, but jsut for reference, the OEM brakes required a 10mm spacer to clear those wheels. I got them to work with a 5mm spacer, but that resulted in a nasty rub mark on the inside of my front rims. Back clear with no spacers.

I'm also interested to hear what people say about the LS430 brakes.

I'm sure it is the same as the TRD monoblock or DSR Big brake kit, because they are all using stock LS430 brake caliper with Supra TT rotors. As for clearance, you will need about at least 40mm of clearance from the wheelspoke and the rotor hub surface.
