Spacer size to clear BBK on OEM 16" wheels?
so I've recently been getting extreme wheel vibrations when under hard breaking and was thinking of upgrading my break system. I dont want to invest in a new set of rims right now so i was wondering what size spacer I would need to clear the bbk? specs for supra TT or LS would be great.
Thanks

Maybe warped rotors are causing the vibrations. I'm not sure a spacer would even help in clearing bbk under 16s.
If anything, you can try this to get an estimate:

15mm should work for the stock 5 spoke 16's to clear the LS caliper. I'm not sure if 16's would clear the Supra TT.

17 inch rim minimum for both ls and supra brakes.

16's with a 15mm spacer will work with the LS brakes.

I have no idea if the 7 spokes have the same clearance.

interesting. I wonder if the supra brakes have the same clearance. I have the supra donut and it is a 17 inch donut.
edited. 16in will probably not work for the supra brake since the rotor diameter is slightly larger.

I don't think 16's can clear the supra brakes. Generally spare tires are the minimum size to clear the brakes, so it comes with a 17" spare for a reason.
