hello from Stuttgart, Southwest Germany!
i have just equipped my SC400 with Aliga's famous calippers and they fit behind 16" wheels!!! i still have about 7.5mm space towards the spokes and 5mm in diameter outside of the calippers!
i have now travelled 1000 miles with the new brakes and they still get better every time i use them!
they are 100% better than the stock calippers. this SC400 may be the first in Europe ever that is equipped with proper brakes!
i attach a picture of my car with OZ Opera 16" rims, i guess they are 16x7.5 ET40 and those are sold as the LS430 winter wheel set for the "old" LS430.
i hope i could help,
George / Germany

Never been able to see another SC in Europe. I am 140mph -155mph zone pretty often here in Italy, Brakes work good. Wish there were more members here in Italy
