Default Offset question in relation to BBK

Alright so I currently have LS400 brakes with a set of tt rims. Now I'm looking to get some new wheels that aren't bent, I was looking at the TSW Snettertons:


The offset on these are 40mm and the TT wheels are 50.. will I need to get spacers to clear my brakes?

You should be fine. Had the same exact setup and I just switched up my wheels. The new ones have a +26 offset and clear the brakes perfectly.

offset has nothing to do with BBK clearance...your TTs and LS400 wheels have 50 offset and can clear BBKs while other tuner wheels might have -15 offset and won't clear BBKs...what you need is DISK TYPE

^wrd. offset doesnt matter. disk size and wheel design matter.

Alright thanks, so here's another noob question. If a wheel will fit fine on a tt supra, will it also fit fine on an sc with bbk?
