Will Fikse FM5's clear C5 brakes w/o spacers? Will the 17x9.5 FM5's clear my front C5 conversion on my LS1 SS?
I've not found any solid information on this. Thanks!

It makes me eerie especially when spending that kind of $$. For instance I know that I can't run TT2's because the inside of the spokes will hit the caliper w/ a C5 conversion.

wait a minute
are you buying them new or have used set and wanted to know if they would rub?
also you have to remember the lips on the FM5's are wider than say the Profil series that's why you get the look that you like, but at the cost of losing caliper clearance.
the difference in the width of the lip has to be lost some where.
just click on the link in my signature for my 19" wheels for sale. you will see that they are relatively flat compared to a FM5 and it's because of that, that I have a ton of caliper clearance.
