Hey, just wanted to mention that i tried the is350 wheels on my 91' LS and they fitted with not problem at all. Also it clears The Supra TT calipers. My kranze front wheels dont, so i need 15mm spacers in the front :-( = I need to pull those fenders some more.. Damn..

have you measured the difference? OEM wheels need 15mm but aftermarket wheels vary.

What do you mean? That normally oem wheels like these is350 needs spacers to fit over supra tt brakes? Well it does'nt need a spacer here. only my 20" does..

im saying your weds may need less than 15mm spacers, so you should measure the pad height in comparison to the IS/TT/wheels that fit.

PD, my buddy had some spacers laying around for his benz, and we tried 15mm and that was perfect. nothing more or less. i got about 4mm of clearance. but i have ordered my own so they fit on the 60,1 center hub. i want this to be perfect.

Hey folks. Just wanted to make an update. Been a long time since i've posted some pics. Well heres the is350 wheels on my car. Looks ok for a winter setup i think. I got rolled fenders on this picture but should be no problem for people running stock. And also fits without spacer with the Supra TT calipers in the front.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.





Btw what do you think of my lexus emblem painted on the calipers? I'm kindda proud of that

Where did you find the brake kit?

Thanks PD. And yeah its oem Toyota Supra TT calipers with EBC rotors and pads. They are still in the bead-in period but i'm sure im gonna like this huge brake upgrade in the long run

edit: The calipers were NOT a direct fit. I needed new brake hoses from a Supra, and also i had to get some center rings special made for the rotors because they are 62mm center and the first gen LS is 60,1.

hmm, i knew about the centering rings but im surprised the hoses didnt fit up. They fit up with later LS' and all the GS/SC

all the more reason to do 2LS upgrade instead

Rolla...

Big difference with these and your other set-up. How do you like the ride with the taller sidewall?

I put a set of these on my stock '98 today as well. No fitment problems at all. I love them, especially compared to the (IMO) ugly stock wheels.

Marlow, throw some pics up. Maybe someone wants to see how it looks on your car

RA40, thanks, and yeah its a big difference hehe. These are much more comfy and i also got my BC suspension raised in "wintermode" with the adjustment all the way to soft. I runs very nice i must say. It really feels like the luxury car it is.

But when thats said.... I have just finished rolling, filled and painted my front fenders so the 20" wheels can sit tight. Damn that whas alot of work. Took me two days. I really looking forward to get the wheels on tomorrow and lower the car and then i have to use some bump stops and turn the adjustment more to the "hard" mode instead of soft. And then the luxury car turned into something different 8-)

PD, yeah the brake hoses could be used but the problem is that the locking mechanism did not fit. its a pin that should fit in a hole in the caliper. i dont want to lose pressure on the highway because of a leak so i wanted to get this the right way. i also had to buy new hoses from a 96' for the rear because they were different too. couldnt use the old ones at all. But at least now i dont have to think about brake problems for a while

I havent read anything about the center rings anywhere so that was a surprise for me and it delayed my project ones again.
