It's not just a matter of width and offsets. When it comes to clearing BBK's, there's also the issue of spoke design.

i posted the widths and offets. the wheels are ccw classics, so it is a mesh design.

What the actual size for the so called "s2000 fitment". I've seen a few different sizes being run.

Just hypothetical, would this also mean the 17x7.5 +48 will fit with the 15mm spacer? Or are 17's too small?

Re: (papa5murf)
MF10's are 7.5" wide with 52mm offsets.
TE37's in 17" with 48mm to 52mm offset will work with 15mm spacers.
...forgot to mention, trying to go 'dumped' with this setup on Spoon calipers is hazardous to your fender's health.

'Volk CE28N 17x9 +54 offset w/ +3mm spacer'
i have these wheels w/ spoon calipers. a 3mm spacer will clear, but only by about 1mm.
i switched to a 5mm hubcentric spacer because the spoon calipers may expand under extreme heat, and they could possibly make contact with the front wheels.
so if u have room, i would recommend a 5mm spacer.

17x8+45 RPF1s will not clear Spoon calipers without a spacer. You need a minimum 3mm spacer to clear with that wheel size and offset.
17x8+45 BBS LMs will fit with a 5mm spacer
17x8+35 Work VS-XX will fit with a 10mm spacer (Yes, that's right!)

If you have the wheels on your car, simply measure the distance from the rotor to the rear of the spokes. You will need approximately 2.25" from the rotor to the spokes to clear safely.

Re: Re: (papa5murf)
I'll be checking fitment with some 18" BBS LMs this weekend. Don't know the offset, hopefully it's stamped on the wheels.
I'll report back sometime this weekend.

Thanks for the clarification, there was no mention that spacers were used. So I'm sorry papa, for the misinformation
