Default How does one determine if a wheel clears a BBK?

I know it's gotta be a 'high disk' wheel, but how can I tell by looking at it? Or can I?

For example:

A 18"x9" wheel with a +45mm offset- seems wide enough, but I don't know how to tell if it will clear or not.

I tried searching, but the results were kind of overwhelming.

Just keep in mind that this is for their BBK setup only. A number of the other BBKs require more space. If the wheels do not accomodate the StopTechs, they will not work with the others like AP Racing, Supra TT, LS, ...

Neo is correct. That template is for the Stoptech BBK only. I have found the Stoptech BBK requires the least amount of clearance of all the BBKs. So if you can’t clear the Stoptech then all the others , Supra, Ls400, Brembo, Rotora, etc will not clear.

Actually, the Rotora 4-piston caliper requires less than the StopTechs.

That's the size of the rotor in mm. 355mm is the bigger (14") rotor.
