Will the RS4 rim clear the HP2 Brakes?

Would the RS6 (8 x 17... I think) wheel be a better answer? Will it clear the HP2 brakes?

Default 255/40R17 tires list a minimum rim width of 8.5"

Some have gotten away with them on 8" wheels, not recommended, but I've seen it done. 7.5" would be too narrow.

I don't have an answer to your brake clearance question, sorry.
