high disk is designed to fit over big brake upgrades.... u cant really tell just by looking u need to DL the template from stoptech? i believe, thats a good starting point.

usually high disk wheels the spoke tends to "bubble" ( shape so u can get a big caliper behind it.

low disk is just normal wheels that fit over stock brakes.

that's correct, high disk wheels, in most cases the spokes design curves outward more and create the space necessary to fit over big brakes. and it almost always means less lip action
