Help: Would Rim Size Conflict with Brembo Brakes??

I am about to purchase these winter tires:

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 235/50R17 for Rear and
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 225/50R17 for fronts.

Since the rim size is 17" would it conflict with the brembo brakes? I want to buy them but want to make sure this is okay cause of the Rim Size. any help would be appreciated.

you will need a 3mm wheel spacer on the front wheels. I am running OEM 17's with ws60's for winter and thats what I have to do. If your 17's are aftermarket the spokes might clear the calipers, but you will have to throw the front ones on to see.

The face looks like it can accomodate the calipers without spacers. 17's are ok for oem brembos.

Those should fit w/o spacers. I run a set of 17x7.5 ASA JH3 wheels for winter on my '04 w/Brembos and they clear just fine.
