Default Rim to wheel clearance

i'm wanting to pick up a set of 15" rims but i'm not sure if my brake setup will clear

Wheel Specs are 15x7, +28 offset VOLK CE28's "8 spoke"

Brake specs are S2000 calipers on rsx 11.8 inch rotors.

My question is will these rims clear my calipers/rotors??

Or will i need spacers?

You probably already know this but RSX-S calipers and S2k calipers are the same, so if you can find someone with an RSX-S with that wheel spec then you will know for sure. Very few 15" wheels will clear Type S brakes though so I don't think your chances are great .

15" CE spoke designs are totally different from larger CE spoke designs so thats going to make it harder to compare. +28 though should clear even if the spokes are flat from my opinion. But who knows...

yeah the 2006+ civic si also has the same calipers as well

Madeinoc- do you think if i ran a 5mm spacer it would possibly clear? i know the s2k calipers are not really bulky neither and i've heard people running spoon calipers under ce28's, then again spoon rotors are still 11.1?
