Default Supra TT Brakes ...

I just recently got my gs400. Of what I have read the TT brakes are are direct bolt on with no modifications needed..correct?

correct.. you would need to modify the oem dust shield which will hit or take it off all together.

calipers bolts right on.

Then the stock wheels won't clear and you need spacers ... i think at least 15mm ... but not fully sure about this. You can do a search on this topic.

Default 06` 18: wheels

Does anyone know if the 2006 GS430 18" wheels will clear the supra TT calipers?

it's not really offset that clears the brakes, it's more about the spoke design
