Default Brembo brakes and winter tires

Ok, I used to have a 2004 Touring with the standard brakes. I have 17" wheels for the winter and I am looking at getting a 2007 Grand Touring with Brembo brakes. My question is will the 17" wheels fit over the brakes?

To my understanding brembos were only on the 2003's and 2004's. Correct me if I'm wrong on this but I don't think 07's had another but the standard brakes. So yes they should

Use an offset calculator and compare the current wheels with the new wheels. With a tape, check if you clear the strut housing, brake caliper and fender.

If you're referring to the OEM 17" wheels, then yes, they have the correct offset to clear the OEM Brembo calipers. Several Z enthusiasts have run that combination at the track, and they should work for snow tires as well.

Sweet, I guess I'll just get the car and put them on to see if they fit ok. Since they fit perfectly on my 04 Touring I think they should be ok in the wheel housing.
