I'm expecting it may be Stav that answers this, but does anyone know what/if spacers are required to run Supra TT calipers with Lexus 18" Aero Wheels?

It's 15mm for the stock 17's, but can't find anyone who's done it with Aero's

Aah yes, I only read that a couple of days ago aswell! I can get a cheap pair of spacers for £12 off eBay, so if I do attempt this I may get a set of 10 and 5 and just see which ones fit before getting some decent ones. That way I can test for 5, 10 and 15mm, as I wouldn't have thought my Aero's would be that far off the ones Dimis has :thumbup1:

why not use washers first?ie 1 5mm washer on each stud then fit the wheel no fit put an other 5mm washer on each stud which would be the same as a 10mm spacer if you know what i mean...that'll save you buying a bunch of spacers

I was thinking that, but whatever I test with would need to be something I could actually drive the car with wouldn't it? Or I could test the caliper for clearance before I plumb it in if that's what you mean?

Sorry I meant if I'd got all the way to the end of fitting them, and then tested, I wouldn't be able to drive the car anywhere with just washer behind the wheel. But I can just do a 'dry fit' of the caliper using washers without doing all the brake lines I think is what you were getting at?

Definitely a good idea though, washers are much cheaper than spacers :thumbup:

Hi, I used 5mm spacer because my rims have an offset et35, check the offset of your rims before you get the spacers. I think they are et50 so you need more clearance 5mm will not be enough
