Default another LS caliper clearance question.
did a search and couldnt find the answer. im on my way to installing LS calipers. i need to know if my 18x8.5 +48 wheels would fit or do i need spacers.
what is the highest offset you can run on with the LS calipers?

the offset doesn't really matter that as much as the face design of the rims. best bet is you would need a high disk design of the wheels. i ran 18x8 racing hart c4's with +45 and part of the rim still rubbed against the calipers

the best way to verify clearance of the calipers is to check the manufacturer's website or contact their customer service, see if the wheels you have will fit the 95-00 LS.

Measure the space from spoke to hub should be 2.75" at the minimum. There's a thread about this somewhere.

yep, offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance. it all about spoke design
