Will 17s Clear?

Sorry if this post is not in the right forum but I had a question whether or not 17" wheels would clear blue m sport brakes in the rears for drag racing purposes.

Forsure the 370x30mm rotors/blue brake calipers will not clear 17" wheels but the non track & handling (Grey) brakes up front are 340x30mm and those clear 17" from what I hear.

So my question is, since the rear blue m sport brakes/rotors are 5mm bigger (345x24mm) than the fronts of a non track & handling brakes (grey), would 17" wheels still be able clear the caliper/rotor?

I have bmw oem steelies 17" on my 340 without track pack and it clears. Oddly enough i had a set of 17" alloys also bmw oem from a 328i but these did not clear my brakes. You really have to try the specific wheel to see if it works or not

Going by https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=34_2033 it looks like the 2012 335 used the same caliper, while wheel options for MSport don't include 17s.
