What wheels for brembos?

I just got some brembos and I don't know which wheels to get.

Are their certain sizes I should look out for, I don't wanna get something that won't fit. thanks.

Evo wheels will forsure clear without a problem and I believe there are a few threads on this already but I say stay somehwere within the spec of the Evo wheels which are a 17x8 +38 offset

Plus they do look sexy on 2g's so its a win-win

Yeah I was thinking those those. I really wanna stay with a 17" because I feel 18" are too big and are all for show.

So if I do a 17x8....I could use a 225/45/17 tire?

And what are the ranges of offsets I could pick from?

Ive got Evo IX wheels on my 2g GSX and am running a 235/45/17 which fit perfect with no rubbing at all!
Id say try to pick some wheels that are between +30/+38 offset and you should clear with most 17" wheels
18's are heavy in most cases but will have no clearence issue at all and do look good if you pick the correct wheel and lowering specs

I don't want heavy wheels, I am thinking of getting the evo 9 mr BBS's.

I read from the tire calculator that I should get a 225/45/17 tire so my speedo is correct.

That would be your call if you are worried about the speedo... It isnt off enough to bother me(maybe 2 mph) so I just stuck with the stock 235/40/17 tires that came on those rims but either way you will be happy I can promise that
