Will the Racing Brake BBK fit OEM RZ 17" wheels?

Just what the title says, I am looking at a set of OEM 17" BBS 8" front/8.5" rear (+50 backspace, I think). My car has a Racing Brake BBK that I would like to retain so I would like to know if anyone happens to know if these wheels will clear the calipers. Thanks in advance for any info!

I don't have those wheels but I do have 17x9 +45 SSRs and they have plenty of clearance. The RB calipers are pretty space efficient.

don't mind the dirt





the caliper MAY knock off stick-on balance weights

Since OP's question appears to have been answered, I'll go a bit off topic and ask: do ANY of the OE 17" wheels offered for the FD clear 332mm stoptechs?

You can download a template on stoptechs website. Follow the instructions and you'll know 100% if it fits your current wheel. It can't tell you if you don't have the wheel however.
