The thing to find out is if you have 'high disk fittment' up front especially. Then you can get some of the templates to print and cut out to see if they'll fit.

I like the StopTech templates because (at least for my printer), the scale is dead on. I'd print it out, cute out the template, pasted it onto some used cardboard, remove the front wheel, and try it. If you can fit this template, you will be able to fit Rotora too. If you have ample room, youmay be able to fit APs, Brembos, ... You'll have to get those templates next.
If the StopTechs are close, you may be able to get away with a small spacer if you want to stay StopTech OR try the Rotora template.

Like Neo said, another route is to use the templates. IMO If you can't put a couple of fingers between your OEM brakes and the wheels, you are likely to have problems.

Some wheels do ( I recall seeing it stamped on a set of Lowenharts Dex had), others don't. Worst case you should be able to take the info on the wheel and hopefully the manufacturer can tell you.

Yea but a supra is about 1000 lbs lighter than a first or 2nd gen gs300. So on an application like a tt gs300 i think i might want something just a little bit more powerfull....

Err a supra is only 20kg lighter than a stock Aristo (Gs300). Where did you get the 1000lbs number from???
