Most common drag wheels for Hondas are designed to fit around the GSR brakes as the biggest brakes used. Aftermarket calipers, rotors, etc. is a touchy thing to start modifying since it complicates the choices of wheels you can use.

We had to slap on a 10mm spacer to get it to clear the GS-R calipers.

most bogarts that were made for hondas, come with a spacer either welded or bolted to the inner wheel for gsr caliper provisions.

I ran a 1/2" spacer to clear the Bogarts on my GSR, the spacer was already mounted so I dont know if they would of fit without it, but I suspect they wouldnt.
