Wheel it fit? (TE37 17x8 +38.... over PP brembos)
 
Looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone running this size on a car with the factory brembos, hoping someone may know. Thanks in advance

If it hasn't been posted on the brembo wheel clearance thread, then there probably isn't an answer out there yet. I would contact the manufacturer. You may want to send them our brembo specification cutout and they can check.

Looked there to start and it wasn't listed, and it's apparently an older set of wheels so they retailers don't have info on it since it's not a current offering.

Well if no one is selling it, then what's the worry?

@ThatYeti go to the main thread. There is a template you can print out on a piece of paper. Glue it onto some cardboard and cut it out. Bring the template with you and lay on the wheel of the hub, and align it with a spoke. Use your phone to shine a the flashlight against the template. If you see daylight, you know it will clear. Bring a 3mm feeler gauge if you want to be extra sure. That will answer your question directly.

Appreciate that, but if I had the wheels here i'd just test fit them...Considering buying a set that would need to be shipped/transported. Appreciate all the help, but i'm just going to pass on them at this point.

The template thing really works great and isn't hard. It's the best way to test clearance for brakes in these situations. Up to you of course, I agree that it may just be easier to find wheels you know or could figure out the info on (that's what I did).
