I don't think they make the yellowstuff for the LS calipers. Just red and green.

Any clue how big the spacers would need to be? These wheels just BARELY clear my stock brakes (to the point the static weights for balancing were hitting the caliper). My wheels are really sunk though, so spacers would be fine with me.

I made a rough measurement and came out with 67mm from the face of the rotor to the back of the spokes. Again, it was a rough measurement, there was barely any wear on the rotor, so it should be near spec.

If I have some free time, I'll try to mount a factory wheel on a see what it looks like tonight. I have the 98 five spoke wheels. I'll get back to you with the results and try to snap some pictures as well.

Jeembo, I mounted one of my factory wheels on and it looks like a set of 20mm spacers should do the trick. Remember, these are the 98 five spoke wheels, I'm not sure which ones you have. Sorry I couldn't shoot any pictures.

As for wheel weights you may have them try to static balance them on a different area; maybe a couple of inches closer towards the rear lip if possible, that should give some extra clearance. Worst case, you may have to have the wheels dynamically balanced.

Hopefully this helps, good luck.
