Looking for winter rims, a way to test if they clear brembos without putting them on?

Is it simply just the measuring tape or ?

not really, you have to check them by fitting them.

i have brembos but managed to get 17" g35 rims to clear by using spacers. plus the spacers make my stock rims pop just enough

really you need spacers for stock 17s? thought a lot of people said it could clear on its own?

From what I've heard, some 17's will fit over Brembos and some won't.
Best to test fit to be safe.

it really depends on the rim. the g35 17" wheels dont have enough clearance so i used spacers. i wanted spacers anyways so it wasn't a huge deal.

always test fit before you buy or else you'll end up with something you cannot use
