Default Brake kit fitment question

I'm in a situation deciding on which wheels to get.(in 18")
Volk LE37
Volk LE28
Advan RS
Advan RGII

If I get either spoon or endless brake kit later,
would I have any issues if I get any of those wheels?

and also..does anyone know for sure
if Advan T7 would fit on S2K without any issues?
I've seen a post where it fits but I heard from someone that it rubs.
Could you clarify on it please?

Thanks alot

You looking for the bling bling effect, or are you looking for performance?

The bbk will give the bling effect, but the OEM brakes are sufficent for moderate track duty. Without doing a search, I'm not 100% positive, but I belive the Volks should clear the bbk.

If your shit is lowered with these wheels, your shit will rub.

Volks are probably the nicest and best fitting on that list, but with the LE28 you will need to run a large spacer just to clear the spoon BBK. The endless BBK is much larger than the spoon. So you will have a very difficult time getting it to work.

Stick with the spoon calipers if you are going to try to make it work with your above list. If you have to have endless you'll will need to branch out with your list of rim choices.

RGII on your list is the best for BBK fitment, but you still may need a small spacer with the spoon calipers. Can anyone confirm?

it all depends on what offset you are running also the spoke design play a really important role
