I was just copy / pasting what the Tire Rack link said.

Default Awesome wheel

I have these in a miata spec +48 tons of room and no rubbing issues. They clear my wilwood calipers by a mile. I was lucky enough to buy these on clearance.

If the end goal is 225 Hoosiers for TTC or 245 Hoosiers for TT4-TT5, I would really recommend a 10 inch wide wheel.

What offset is that and what fender modifications are required? The 17x9 +60-+63 rims meet the STR autocross rules and with significant negative camber keep the tire under the fender.

Back in the day I sent spoon caliper template to Tire Rack and they confirmed these K8's would clear, so imagine other BBK might work also.

Urge compiled a list of wheels that work with their brakes: Essex AP Racing Front Brake Kit | URGE designs

They say the K8R requires a 3mm spacer. The 3 other 60+ positive offset wheels are specified as needing a 10mm spacer.

I run three sets of 17x10 +55 wheels. They require a fender roll all around and rear bumper tab relocation to run the 245 Hoosiers. I needed some fender pull for the 275 RC1s.
