Second Pic: I have a little under 1" from the stock caliper to the bottom of the spoke.

Here is the finished product! There was SOOO much room with the stock calipers, but the wheels barely clear with the LS400 calipers. I knew it was going to be close, but I didn't know it was going to be that close.

Based on this pic:



I'm doing TT brakes on my sc300. Looking at this pic, and from what I've read on here, I need atleast 2.75" of clearance. So spacers will be needed it seems. Should I go with 15mm H&R's or 5mm H&R's? Any downsides to going with the wider spacer just to be safe?

Specifically, the profile of the calipers in comparision

I wish they made something that didn't puke all over the inside of your rim and make it really hard to clean.
