Will 17" wheels clear 2013 SHO w/PP brakes?

[GreenMtnSHO]

As the title states, I am looking for a definitive answer if these wheels will fit on my wife's 2013 SHO with the PP.  The wheels are Elbrus i04 17x7.5 +35mm.

The guy selling them had them on a 2011 SHO, but he didn't have the PP...

The only reason I am asking is because it's a two hour drive to check them out, and don't want to waste the time for the gas if they wont.

TIA.

Justin.

I'll try to find the post. Someone here had 17" snow tires/wheels. I'm just not sure if it had PP

Hey Justin, I found this thread over on SHOforum that says they will NOT fit.

The smallest is 18 inch for the 13+, both PP and non PP.
Also the rims for sale are half an inch smaller in width than your current rim.

The 2013+ Flex ecoboost run the same sized brakes as new SHO and there are a few wheels that will clear.  I did test mount a set of MSW Type 14 and they just clear the caliper by a few mm.

Thanks for the replies, guys.  Good to know.  Looking for a winter wheel/tire combo.  I'll look for at least 18's now...

Threw my wife's 17" mustang wheels on my 14 pp. they technically cleared, but wow!

Wow that's tight!
What year bullet rims are they? Offset?

91hybrid, have you tried running them to see how the heat from the caliper and rotor affect the coating on the wheel?

Not sure on the year. Early 2000's. Standard mustang offset.

Never ran them. They have her 26" mickeys on and I didn't swap the rears so I didn't drive it. She was very close, but technically cleared.
