Looks great, did you have to do any trimming of the caliper ?

actually just a tad.. not too much. The only problem I econuntered was the caliper bolt being too long and touching the rotor, 1 washer took care of it.

Looks pretty good. Now get some nice rims to complement them.

that looks great. how did you prep the calipers before painting them? did you sand them down with a fine grit?

Those are IS250/350 wheels.

TheCoupe - So do the IS wheels clear the ls400 calipers w/o any mods?

thanks, that's what i thought. the fronts on the IS are 18x8 and rears are 18x8.5, judging by the spoke design, i would think the fronts would clear fine, but my original plan was to source out 4 rear wheels to run 18x8.5 all around but i'm not sure if the wheels would look even.

i was actually planning to do that with some supra tt wheels. i was going to buy another set of supra tt wheels and make one complete 17x9.5 set for the track. then make a complete set of 17x8 wheels and sell them for dirt cheat to some that wants something wider then stock but doesnt really care for a wide tire.

the calipers look nice but the color is not my cup pf tea. i have ls calipers and i will either leave them black or polish the chit out of them.

the ISx50 wheels will fit on tt or ls calipers no problems.

i wanna see the picks of the whole car with those purple calipers.
