Depends on the type of wheel really.
For example
A 17" Rota can handle 316mm Brembo's, but a 17" WRX wheel can't.
However a 328mm Stoptech kit (so a bigger disc then the Brembo) WILL fit under the 17" WRX wheel.
Rougly said, anything up to a 330ish mm diameter will generally fit under a 17 inch wheel, and you'll only run into trouble with a very bulky caliper (like the STI Brembo) or a wheel with a very flat spoke on the inside.
I know someone who couldn't even fit stock 4 pots under ET44 Kahn wheels without a 2mm spacer, but that is a very odd occurance.
