Does anyone know how much additional room is needed behind the wheel to do the TT upgrade? How much more room do the TT calipers need? I've only got about 1/2 inch room between my calipers and the rim.

A number of people on CL have said that offset doesn't matter. All that matters is the wheels size, shape and backspacing. Offset only determines where the flat part of the wheel sits inside the round part of the wheel. Offset has nothing to do with the amount of room behind the spokes. Low disk and high disk wheels deal with clearance issues behind the spokes for brake upgrades and such.
So again the question is how much bigger are the TT calipers than the stock? How much further do they stick out than the stock calipers?

I just wanted to give you a rough idea. Don't take these numbers as gospel.

Thanks much for the help. It doesn't sound like the H&R spacers will help on this. I'll order a high disk set up on my next set of wheels.

I am not sure if it changes things but I just wanted to give you a heads up. Sorry about that.

Sorry,I forgot the measurement from the rotor out-board for the TT setup,but I checked it out once about a year ago on my car,won't work for me without some different wheels.
Someone on the forum had a dimension.

The big secret is :
Autozone, (2) loaded refurbished supra calipers = $105.00 +core charge
From there i got some used TT rotors for free, resurfaced them for $40.
Total cost for my supra brakes = $145.00
