Is there a 17" wheel that can go over 14" stoptechs?

I e-mailed DiscountTireDirect with the template and they will have their wheel guy check for us. Hopefully this will give us some answers.

your brake size of 355x32. There is no problem at all even with this big brake.

did you not read what I said?
even high offset 48mm and up to see if it would work with a wheel adapter or spacer...
Because if you put a SPACER or ADAPTER on a wheel with 60mm for example with a 35mm adapter it will then be a 15mm offset...
The INSIDE part of the wheel is usually larger diameter closer to the inside of the rim...
once again i will post this image
the CCW wheels our race cars run where a high offset... but they had a 35mm spacer... They do not make the CCW wheels with a different spoke curve...
atlesat the style we ran...

yes it will be a +25...and you will also have zero studs left to bolt to. Offset does not operate in a vacuum. It is dependant upon width and pad height as well.
An 18x8.5 +30 with a 10mm spacer will not fit the same as an 18x8.5 +20. In fact, the wheel made with the +20 has a sufficient pad height to allow for the same wheel studs to be used and get 5-6 full turns. You would be luck to get 2-3 full turns on 18x8.5 +30 with a 10mm spacer though.

I just got off the phone with John at 5Zigen again and he said the 17x8.0 +25 clears up front with no problem. The 17x9.0 +15, +20 clear up front as well. So basically all of the FN01R-C's in 17" with a low offset will clear. And if you decide to go 17x10.0 (+25, or +35 would be optimal) in the back then that defintiely won't be a problem. WOOHOO.
You can order though Hop Up Racing. Ask for Steve he will take care of you guys.

my bad, I had different numbers first and didnt change the second number...
50mm wheel 25mm adapter = 25mm
60mm wheel 35mm adapter = 25mm Jason cant do math today...
The reason why our race team had to do this was they only make one pad height CCW mesh wheel... So to make a larger pad height, they raise up the offset and run a spacer... Giving the wheels a lower offset and a higher pad height...
Not all wheels have differeht pad heights available... So not only do spacers give you a lower offset, they will also give you a higher pad height...
Pad height does not effect the wheel studs... That is hub mount thickness...
With spacers you have to use longer hub bolts... I would not even recomend a 5mm spacer without longer hub bolts... And always try to use hubcentric spacers...

all good! We are all multi tasking here 
The first time I printed out the stop tech fitment chart, I didnt relize that their chart is actually a little bigger then a standard print page (atleast on our lazer jet printers)
It cleared the wheels, Then when we actually put the kit on... woops! it was a few mm off... Why? Because I didnt click the "Do not auto fit to page" in Acrobat...

I had to resize my template with photoshop to have correct sizes. Size was-off even with "do not auto fit thing", and no amount of tweaking could make it print to correct effective size. Had to use PS.
