Default You need to get the brake template and fit it to each set of wheels . . .
to determine if that particular wheel will clear the brakes. Some 17" brakes will clear better then 18" brakes, because the brake upgrade's width often causes more problems than its height. If width appears problematic and you can move the wheel further out, you may try hub/wheel spacers. However, many people have had problems over the long term with spacers.
