Default need wheel suggestion

do the enkei rpf1 17*10 +18 all around fit over the brembo caliper? and 275/40R17 are fine with those wheels? (I mean... no rubbing, no clearance issues) my camber is -2.5/-2.7 front and -2 rear...

They clear the Brembos. It'll be tight in the front at the fender, but with your camber, should be ok. The rears are no problem.

Here is my 17x10 +25 set-up with 275/40/17 Hoosiers.



I put a baby 3mm spacer in the front because the wheel was very close to the arm, but then it rubbed slightly. My camber is only ~-2 though.

I've always run 17" track tires, unless it's raining. Then I run stockers. I like the 17s.

Correct. I am running a similarly-sized set of 17x10 FN01R-Cs with big ole' Hoosiers.
