Will 17inch rims clear 345mm rear brembos?

Anyone have any experience with this? Looking to get forged apex 17x90 et30 squared and wondering if itll clear the 2 piston brembos in the rear? Im on a 340/4pot front and 345mm/2pot rear setup

The odds are against a 17" wheel fitting over the rear Brembo calipers.

Someone has done it, however not all 17's are going to fit
I think it's fairly selective wheel options for that.

Will the arc-8s fit?

Here's a picture of 345MM M-Sport brakes in a factory 18" rim:

There's quite a bit of space outside the caliper, so SOME 17" rims should fit. Unfortunately, it's close enough that you'll need to individually verify them.
