Default Calibre Wheels brake clearance

Does anyone know if these Calibre Wheels can clear biggers brakes such as Focus RS brembos and discs on a 2wd saph?

Dont want to buy a set to find they dont clear the brakes.

Thanks in advance

I don't think they fit under the wheels mate, I was thinking about the same conversion.
Someone on RSOC tried and I'm sure they didn't fit.
It may have been Rik Edwards from memory

On the 17" lenso bsx I bought for my 3 door with frs brembos, the wheels needed to be et18 to clear the caliper, i don't know how bad the spoke angle is on the calibre vintage rims though. At worst you will need to use spacers

You need spacers on the front to clear standard callipers.
