Default Enkei Kojin or TSW Interlagos Stoptech friendly?

Does anyone know whether the Enkei Kojin in 17x9 +45 would work with the Stoptech BBK? They have no lip, but also are more of a concave spoke.

Also has, anyone test fit the TSW Interlagos in 17x9 +63?

Interlagos will not clear. The TSW Nurburgring clear.

Must be close, right? Interlagos have no lip and roughly the same spokes.

According to a post in the R&C subforum, about 12-15mm spacer would be required. It looks like the base of the spokes has a very gradual curve to them, making them very thick.

355mm kit? Are you sure it's not the 328x28?

The 355mm kit doesn't fit inside a 17" wheel. The caliper will hit the barrel (if not the spokes).

Can you verify fitment again of the 328x28 ST40 kit on the 17x9 +45?

I think he did mean the 328 kit. I did get confirmation also from Enkei themselves that the 17x9 +45 works with the Stoptech kit. The only negative is that the wheel is 21 lbs even.
