Default ET48

seen a new set of 17" alloys i quite fancy.

at some point in the future i'll probably be going for bigger brakes than the 4 pots on my ra - will an offset of et48 allow the bigger brakes to fit under the wheels?

Cheers in advance.

ET48 will clear most calipers from an offset point of view but spoke design does play a part too

My 17" Rota Torque are ET48 and clear Brembos by a few mm but this is largely down to the pretty flat spoke design. If the spokes curved in more at the top they'd hit the calipers.

What wheels are they Ste? as like it's been mentioned some do and some don't...It's all dependent on the spoke design
