Stock 17's will clear and most aftermarket wheels will clear provided you get the right offset. Enkei RPF1 and 5zigen FN01R-C are a couple of the cheaper wheels that are also lightweight.

The problem is not the distance between the calliper and spokes. That's easy to figure out with offset.

The problem is the distance between the outer edge of the calliper and inner edge or the wheel. Wheel manufactures do not publish these specs. That's why 18 inch wheels are recommended with big brakes.

Do you have a particular wheel in mind? 9.5" wide with an offset around +30 works pretty well for track use.
