I will be doing a 3000GT VR4 brake conversion up front. RTM's website states that some wheels have spoke patterns that interfere with the calipers.

Quote from RTM:
NOTE: These brakes will NOT fit with all 17" & 18" wheels (and essentially no 16"ers)--the area of interference is rarely the inner diameter of the rim, but rather, the inner surface of the rim "spokes". Since the design of this area can vary widely from rim to rim, (and is not easily measured) it's virtually impossible for RTM Racing to confirm fitment. It should be noted, however, that most interference issues of this type can be remedied with wheel spaces to further offset the rim to the outboard side.
RTM's Page for conversion kit.

I was considering a set of 17x8 OZ Ultraleggera's (here). These wheels perfectly fit the suggested wheel size I found in another thread. (17x8 +40 5x114.3)

Anyone run these wheels/brakes or have any thoughts on their fitment? I do not want to run spacers.
Thanks,

Kevin
 
They seem spoke-wise and width that they would fit. VR4 calipers aren't that large in comparison to others. But at certainty without a spacer it's difficult to say. Why do they not provide templates showing fitment for their BBK's is beyond me. It should be a basic requirement to be able to provide an honest sale.
