Does TSW Interlagos 17x9 +63 fit Stoptech BBK?
This has been asked before, but not in several years. The consensus from other threads, looking at templates, was that it would be "very close". So, has anyone actually fitted these wheels over the Stoptech ST40 kit and can confirm that it does (or doesn't) fit? I could probably run up to a 3mm spacer if necessary, since right now I'm running Enkei PF01, which are a +60, and don't have any rubbing on the fender. (They do rub on the inside in some extreme mid-corner bump situations, but it's not a big deal.) Love these wheels, but they definitely won't fit the BBK. (Although they might fit a Wilwood kit—dynalite or superlite? If anyone has experience with one of those under 17x9 +60 PF01s I'd be interested in that too.) Thanks!

From the Stoptech Fitment thread:
Another 17x9 +63 Interlagos user w/ 328x28 Stoptech BBK.
When using the template it looked like I had about 0.5-1.0 mm clearance. But when I actually mounted the brake kit, it just rubs the radius on the bottom of the flat face. I had some 2mm spacers made and I am good to go.
Also, if anyone needs some 2mm spacers let me know I have some extras.
Without any spacer, wheel rotates freely:

Oh, jeez, how did I miss that? That's perfect, thanks!

I run Enkei PF01 +60 with no rubbing on my unrolled fenders, at 13" ride height and -3.5° camber. Since the TSW wheel is a +63 presumably I could go to a 3mm spacer for the same fitment. Although, given that the caliper just touches but doesn't block the wheel with no spacer, a 2mm spacer should give basically 2mm of clearance, which should be sufficient. I might do that just to get a bit extra fender clearance for peace of mind. (Althoooough I am already rubbing a bit on the inner liners in some extreme situations on track, so maybe I should do 3mm... Choices!) Of course there's also the option to roll the fenders for plenty of clearance, but I'd like to maintain the ability to go back to stock unless it's necessary.

If you're going to buy new wheels get TC015Ns in 17x9+49. They're more expensive but you won't have any rubbing on either the fender or inner liners, they're stronger, and clear every single BBK.

I barely clear the fenders with 17x9+60; I would definitely need to roll them if I went to a +49, and even then I expect it would be tight. Guessing you're running a higher ride height if you use those without rolled fenders?

I have 1.5 finger gap all around. 255/40s. My fenders are rolled but with -3.5 camber I don't think you'll rub. If you do, use offset upper bushings and it will bring the upper part of the wheel in.

The TSW wheel with a 2-3mm spacer should be perfect though. My current setup works great; the only downside is BBK clearance. TSW with a 3mm spacer should be identical as far as fender clearance, but will allow me to upgrade the brakes. Edit: plus they're 2/3 the price and come in black

They fit, no spacer.
